From a bottle of blue and white china; a very fine example of symmetrical arrangement: it is also interesting as showing the limit of shade and relief in the representation of flowers - a limit which the Chinese constantly reach, but never exceed.
From Examples of Chinese ornament, by Owen Jones, London, 1867.
