• Notes:
  Unglazed and high-fired ceramic such as the current lot is called fanci (reversed ceramics), shengci (raw ceramics), or suci (plain ceramics) in Chinese. Mainly produced in Jingdezheng during the Daoguang and Guangxu reigns, unglazed ceramics with high-relief or carved patterns were made into scholar's objects of relatively small sizes. One of larger sizes such as the current lot had to be a technique wonder. In addition, the various fine details such as the creatures in the pond, the bamboo leaves, fine fingers of the figures, and the texture of the gowns, all posed tremendous challenges during the sculpting as well as the firing processes.
