Description
Four Chinese blue and white saucers and an 'erotic' cup, Kangxi
Dia.: 11 cm (the largest saucer)
Dia.: 10 cm (the smallest saucer)
Dia.: 3,5 cm - H.: 6,5 cm (the cup)
Erotic art is an eminent part of the cultural heritage of ancient China, and was already flourishing in pre-Imperial times. With its peak during the late-Ming period, this art remained a fixed feature in Chinese literature and visual arts until well into the 20th century.
Chinese erotic art is a search for beauty in all its manifestations, for not only does it offer stimulation, it provides a source of great aesthetic pleasure. It never presents sex in a crude or pornographic way, but within a framework of beauty and harmony, enhanced with details of a profound or symbolic nature.
