Jar with Scenes from the Land of Daoist Immortals

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a white vase with blue illustrations. The vase is symmetrical, with a narrow opening at the top. The body of the vase bulges out to a maximum width below the middle and then tapers down to a narrower base. The vase is decorated with blue illustrations on a white background. The illustrations depict people in traditional clothing standing on a beach or shore. The people are surrounded by waves and stylized clouds. The top portion of the vase is decorated with a pattern of stylized clouds and a geometric pattern. The background of the image is black at the top and gradually fades to gray at the bottom. A shadow falls on the right side and bottom of the vase.
