Bowl with the Eight Immortals visiting Shoulao
Shoulao, the god of longevity is shown with the Eight Immortals around the outside. The Eight Immortals are a combination of male and female historical and legendary figures, each identified by different costume and attributes. For example Zhong Liquan is recognised by his top knots and fan, and Li Tieguai has a ‘grotesque’ face, walks with a crutch and carries a gourd. This Qing doucai bowl has a six-character apocryphal Chenghua mark in a double circle in underglaze blue on the base.
