Plain Tricolor Pot with Sea Horse and Eight Buddhist Emblems

Kangxi-era plain tricolor ware is primarily decorated with yellow, green, and purple. The works are glazed and fired a second time at a low temperature. This vessel is glazed white both on the interior and exterior, and is decorated with a painting of four hippocampuses crossing the sea to reach the Eight Auspicious Symbols. Because the painting forgoes red pigment, the resulting image is elegant and simple.
