Photo 1 of 6

A small, but relatively tall and extremely rare Beaker, almost in the shape of a frustum of a cone, carefully and clearly painted in paleish and dark tones of blue with a seated lady holding a bunch of flowers, a child leaps in the air in front of her. The decoration also includes a solitary, bare willow tree and a strange rock behind which grow gnarled roots, and on its top sprout bunches of flowers.

The ""Jumping Boy"" pattern.

Three-character pseudo Chinese mark. c1758-60
