Description: | Kangxi (1662 - 1727) mark on base CRE UNKNOWN; This is one of a set of six octagonal saucers. Most of the saucers are decorated with alternating lady musicians and pots of chrysanthemums. This saucer is an exception in that the musicians appear to be male. The instruments depicted appear to be a flute, cymbals, pipes and a small gong. (See also GLAHA 54463-5, 54467-8) . The design is similar to 54435-9 though these are not a set. This item is part of the collection of over 330 pieces of Chinese ceramics and approximately 15 items of Japanese ceramics from the estate of James McNeill Whistler, gifted and bequeathed by the artist's sister-in-law, Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), in 1935 and 1958.
