Title: Qianjiang covered jar
Post by: Adriano on Feb 05, 2022, 01:09:07

This is the last addition to my Qianjiang pieces.
It seems that there is a date ren xu (1922).
This date is consistent with the style of decoration, I think.

Thank you for comments.

Hi Adriano,

As always you are right regarding the year (1922). This would read 'renwu' not renxu, though. The character is badly abbreviated and I could verify this only by the first two strokes the painter made in the 'wu' character. The rest is illegible. Many Qianjiang painters were not into calligraphy, thus their writing is sometimes illegible even for native Chinese. :)
