White glazed porcelain with multi-colored enamels and gold lining China, late Qing Dynasty or Republic period This finely hand painted porcelain bowl shows a Jiaqing reign seal-mark, painted in iron red over the glaze, on the underside. The exterior features the vivid scenery of a famous yet rarely depicted Chinese legend. We see the Taoist sage, Zhang Daoling, seated in a palanquin and accompanied by a group of soldiers. A general on horseback is pointing in the direction of a farmer that has bound a tamed, white tiger to a fence. Zhang Daoling is famed for missing the first potion of immortality after uniting the blue dragon with the white tiger. This took place at the ‘Dragon and Tiger Mountain” which we can see at the picturesque landscape, painted on the bowl.
