<p>[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 46839, member: 118"]I am far from having strong knowledge in Chinese porcelain. But recently started collecting images of patterns on Chinese porcelain - animals, birds, creatures, people's faces, hairdos, geometrical patterns etc. All these are from Chinese websites only, reputable ones. I am trying to sort them by age, type etc. But it will take a while. Also, collecting images of footrims, glazes, age signs etc.</p><p>So, from what I've seen nothing is random on the decoration. Every flower, bird, animal, depicted scene and their combination are deeply related to the Chinese traditions and culture. </p><p>I've just never seen hounds on domestic pieces. Maybe if there is a hunting scene, you may see some in the ground. Who knows, maybe the emperor or other court official liked hounds and commissioned the work the Jade piece above. I feel like maybe it was an inspiration for the later porcelain figurines. If something is rare and unusual as soon as it is shown to the public someone will start making copies of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
