A rare large Wucai porcelain "One Hundred Boys" lidded vase with a wooden base. China, Transition period (1620-1683).
Height 38 cm
The large baluster-shaped Wucai (five-color) porcelain vase with lid depicts the auspicious theme of "One Hundred Children," where playful children perform a stylized lion dance in a garden setting to invoke good fortune and prosperity. This specific decoration was very popular during the turbulent transition between the Ming and Qing dynasties (1644–1661), serving as an omen of peace and prosperity.
