Porcelain tile with blossoms and birds, c.1662

Decorated with a delicate yet bold design of prunus tree, pine and bamboo, accompanied by a rock and swallows, this porcelain tile was created in China during the Kangxi Period. The corners are adorned by lozenges, which number among the Eight Precious Things and are symbols of good fortune in Chinese culture.
