This small Chinese porcelain “Kangxi revival” jar was made during the latter part of the Qing dynasty (1644-1912), Guangxu period (1875-1908).\u00a0It is decorated in cobalt blue underglaze with\u00a0eight figures and\u00a0stands\u00a0about 5″ \u00a0high, with a four character mark on the underside.<\/p>\n

At some point during\u00a0its early life this jar was dropped, resulting in a complex fracture. But rather than tossing the broken pieces out on to the\u00a0curb, they\u00a0were taken to a china mender who lovingly restored the jar\u00a0using metal staples, aka rivets. Judging by the form and the use of\u00a0double rivets, the repair\u00a0appears to have been done\u00a0in the Middle East, where\u00a0recycled wire was used by itinerant street menders to form flattened rivets.<\/p>\n

This jar has a similar form and decoration and remains in one piece.<\/p>\n
