Description:
China, ca. 18th cent.
L. 6,2 cm
From an old East German private collection, collected from the 1960s to the 1990s
The decoration symbolizes the phonetic play on words between nian (鲶, catfish) and nian nian you yu (年年有余, "Überfluss Jahr für Jahr") and thus stands for prosperity, fertility and harmonious relationships. Comparable pieces often appear as depictions of couples or in combination with lotus motifs - Minimal traces of age
