Early Kangxi famille verte biscuit porcelain circular sweetmeat set, c.1670, available from Marchant.
Depicted on it are two bearded scholars and three young male attendants admiring a scroll painting in a landscape. The six exterior dishes each show scholars at pursuits such as playing weiqi, playing a qin, in conversation or drinking.
It is one of 40 pieces included in the show, all of which were made for the domestic market, including water droppers, brush rests, incense burners and scroll weights. The exhibition marks the first time that the Kensington Church Street gallery will produce an online catalogue for the works on display.
