Panel with “hundred antiques”
The “hundred antiques” pattern became popular in China in the seventeenth century. It often features antiques, ornamental vessels, and scholar’s accessories in various media, resulting in a colorful, playful surface. Here, spinach jade represents an ancient bronze tripod with green patina, while cloisonné mimics both an archaic bronze pattern on the left and a contemporary porcelain pattern on the right.
