Chinese blue and white figure of Zhongli Quan, Ming (1368 – 1644), late 16th/early 17th century, in flowing robes with a central badge containing the moon rabbit, one of the twelve ornaments; standing upon a base decorated with the sacred mountains.
明代（1368–1644年，约16世纪末/17世纪初）青花钟离权立像。造像身着飘逸长袍，胸前饰有“十二章纹”之一的“月兔”纹样；立于饰有神山纹的底座之上。
尺寸：
高：22.7厘米（8 15/16英寸）
品相：
手部下方有磕缺，有少量烧造瑕疵。
备注：
钟离权是“八仙”之一，这是一组半历史半神话的道教人物，在整个中国艺术史上常出现于陶瓷及各类艺术设计中。传说钟离权掌握了长生不老药的秘诀，而他手中常持的扇子据说能使死者灵魂复苏。其长袍上的纹饰便体现了这一能力：“月兔”是用于装饰权贵服饰的“十二章纹”之一，描绘了兔子在月宫中捣制长生不老药的场景。
记载“十二章纹”最早的文献之一是西汉官员司马迁（约公元前145–前86年）所著的中国古代史籍《史记》。钟离权的立像极为罕见：另一件同类藏品现存于瑞典哈尔维尔博物馆（Hallwyl Museum，藏品编号 XLVIII:VII:C.b.b.01）。
来源：
底座贴有Bluett & Sons古董行的标签，以及1994年东方陶瓷学会（OCS）与大英博物馆联合举办的展览标签（编号84）。1963年9月9日，John da Silva（1918–2003）与Jennifer da Silva（1932–2020）夫妇以85英镑购自Bluett & Sons，后由家族传承至今。该像曾于1963年10月参加OCS展览（编号100），并于1994年10月至11月参加OCS与大英博物馆联合举办的展览（展柜2a，编号84），且收录于该展览的图录中。此像为da Silva夫妇购作结婚礼物。正如其家族记录所述：“两位相交多年的挚友邀请我们（达·席尔瓦夫妇）去‘Bluett's’——一家极佳的东方艺术品商号——挑选一件物品作为结婚贺礼。经过反复斟酌，我们最终选定了一尊十六世纪的青花瓷像，描绘的是道教八仙之一的钟离权。”

Dimensions:
Height: 22.7cm. (8 15/16 in.)
Condition:
Chip to underside of hand, small firing faults
Notes:
One of the Eight Immortals, a group of semi-historical Daoist figures who appear in ceramic and art design through Chinese art history, Zhongli Quan is said to have obtained the secret of the elixir of life, and the fan which he is often seen carrying is said to revive the souls of the dead. The insignia on his robe reflects this ability: the moon rabbit is one of the twelve auspicious ornaments used to decorate fabrics worn by authority figures, and portrays a rabbit pounding the elixir of life within the moon.
One of the first documents detailing the twelve ornaments was the ‘Records of the Grand Historian’ (shiji), a history of ancient China by the Western Han official Sima Qian (c. 145 – c. 86 BC). Standing figures of Zhongli Quan are very rare: one other example can be found in the Hallwyl Museum, Sweden (inventory number XLVIII:VII:C.b.b.01.)
Provenance:
With paper labels to the base for both Bluett & Sons and the joint 1994 OCS and British Museum Exhibition (no.84). Purchased at Bluett & Sons on 9th September 1963 for £85 by John da Silva (1918 – 2003) and Jennifer da Silva (1932-2020) and thence by family descent. Exhibited in the OCS exhibition in October 1963 (no.100) and at the joint OCS and British Museum exhibition October-November 1994 (case 2a, no.84), illustrated in handlist for the exhibition. The figure was purchased by Mr and Mrs da Silva as a wedding present; as recorded in the former’s family notes: 'two old and close friends invited us (Mr and Mrs da Silva) to choose something at Bluett's, the best and nicest of oriental dealers, as a wedding present, and after much deliberation we selected a 16th century blue and white figure of Zhongli Quan, one of the eight Daoist Immortals.'
