China, 1662-1722. The vase is well painted in bright blue tones with ogival-shaped reserves, each enclosing one of the Eight Immortals, four on the neck, two on the convex mid-section, and two on the lower body, all reserved on a diaper ground between various decorative borders.
Provenance: From an old French private estate.
Condition: Very good condition with some old wear and shallow surface scratches overall, scattered firing irregularities such as pitting, glaze recesses, dark spots. The cobalt-blue with small areas of firing-related fading, as expected from this group. The vase slightly leaning. Two hairlines to glaze, hardly visible to the naked eye, please request our video shot under strong blue light for more detail.

The Baxian (Eight Immortals) are a legendary group of Chinese heroes who fight to vanquish evil. Popular during the Tang and Shang dynasties, these Eight Immortals were said to live on a group of five islands in the Bohai Sea. Their stories were first recorded by the Ming dynasty poet Wu Yuantai. Their status as fabled folk icons makes them well-known in popular culture.
