Pot avec couvercle — Histoire et analyse

Sur le corps du pot se trouvent de petites figurines non émaillées. Elles représentent les Huit Immortels, des figures légendaires du taoïsme, qui apparaissent dans de nombreux contes merveilleux chinois. Le jar était destiné à faire des offrandes sur un autel chinois.

Au XVIIe siècle, un certain nombre de ces vases ont trouvé leur chemin vers les Pays-Bas en tant que raretés. Amalia, la compagne du stadhouder Frédéric-Henri, en possédait également un.
