Wanli
Elegantly potted of hexagonal baluster shape, boldly painted in vibrant tones of cobalt-blue around the exterior with shaped panels enclosing a white elephant, qilin, and heavenly horse, each carrying a trigram on their back amidst ruyi-shaped clouds, all reserved against a 'wave'-pattern ground with large lotus blooms, the neck with a band of pendant ruyi-heads, the waisted neck with further panels containing floral sprays. 30.5cm (12in) high.

明萬曆 青花瑞獸紋罐
Provenance: William Young Antiques, Aberdeen
A British private collection, acquired from the above in 1954, and thence by descent
來源：英國阿伯丁古董商William Young Antiques
英國私人收藏，從上處獲得于1954年，並由後人保存迄今
The animals depicted on the jar are imbued with auspicious meanings: the qilin symbolises benevolence and prosperity, the elephant strength and wisdom, and the heavenly horse success and advancement. Together, these auspicious creatures evoke ideals of prosperity, virtue and cosmic harmony, themes further reinforced by the inclusion of the Eight Trigrams ( 八卦), which represent the fundamental forces and principles governing the natural world. See a similar blue and white 'mythical beasts' jar, Wanli, in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, illustrated by R.Kerr and L.E.Mengoni, , London, 2011, p.22, pl.15. See also a similar mythical beasts jar, Wanli, illustrated by B.MacGuire, , London, 2023, no.172, where the author notes that the decoration of the animals in panels may have been inspired by ink-cake designs, which were circulated in woodblock printed books.
A large blue and white bottle vase, Wanli, with similar decoration of hexagrams and mythical beasts, was sold at Christie's London, 9 November 2011, lot 515. See also a blue and white jar of similar form, decorated with the Eight Immortals, Wanli, which was sold at Christie's London, 11 November 2011, lot 1262.
