A famille verte 'dragon boat festival' sleeve vaseKangxi
Brightly and boldly enamelled in the famille verte palette with a continuous scene of the Emperor travelling on a dragon boat in a river luxuriant with fish and lotus, the Emperor surrounded by his court ladies, the boat apparently dragged by a group of mirthful ladies on a shore, the opposite shore with a delegation of officials greeting the party on a bridge, a further party observing the scene from a terrace, all under a decorative band at the rim.
