Leaf Passing Blue and White Saucer Circa 1725, Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng Reign

About the Item

The ceramic portrays a tranquil scene set against a backdrop typical of the Shan Shui tradition, which emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. In the center of the composition, a figure stands upright on a raised platform amidst the branches of a tree, actively engaged in the process of handing down leaves to another figure below. This could be a depiction of a simple act of cooperation or assistance between individuals, a common motif in Chinese art that underscores the values of communal support and unity.

It is believed the ship was a Chinese merchant’s cargo on its way from Canton (Guangzhou) to Batavia when it caught fire and sank. The merchant had ordered the goods on board for Dutch traders, who had limited access to China and its ports. * Porcelain for the European Market The Ca Mau Cargo consisted of numerous types of porcelain, chinaware and blue and white wares, all designed for the European market. Blue and white ceramics recovered from the cargo appear decorated with the so-called ‘Scheveningen landscape’, also known as ‘Deshima décor’. This motif usually depicted a traditional Dutch fishing village, executed in Chinese style. Chinese wares with Western motives were extremely popular and made to order and were known as ‘China de commande’.
