Dimensions：H.81cm, W.45cm Condition & Provenance：Porcelain plaque intact, no cracks or chips, well‑preserved blue‑and‑white painting. Original mixed‑wood frame with hanging fixture, frame bears natural age wear. Formerly private collection of Arthur Morgan, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. Acquired in 1940s, family descent. Never offered at public auction, no exhibition or publication records. Description：A fine porcelain plaque painted in underglaze blue depicting wild geese amid autumn reeds, in the manner of Wang Bu. Two geese are captured mid‑flight, with meticulously rendered feathers, eyes and dynamic postures. Reeds criss‑cross across the composition. Masterful blue‑and‑white gradation creates layers of depth, evoking the misty atmosphere of an autumn river‑bank. A small square blue‑and‑white seal mark is painted at lower right. The work merges Chinese literati painting aesthetics with porcelain painting technique, well‑balanced in composition and imbued with unrestrained artistic spirit. Housed in its original antique wooden hanging frame, complete with original hanging hardware, ideal for interior display, representative of high‑quality Republic‑period blue‑and‑white porcelain art.
