This is a Chinese overglaze painted garlic-head vase depicting children. The lively depiction shows children playing in the water and playing shogi. Although small, it is a substantial piece with a strong presence. The body is marked with "Made in the Longqing era of the Great Ming Dynasty." The reign of the Longqing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was only five years long. Size: Height/approx. 21.6cm Body diameter/approx. 9.6cm Thank you.
