Scholar's accessory, zoomorphic dropper in the shape of a bat, China

Descriptio Porcelain with a monochrome green glaze. This small object, designed for moistening ink paste, takes the stylized form of a bat with compact volumes and rounded features. Its perforated eyes and openwork mouth structure the surface while emphasizing its utilitarian function. The thick, glossy green glaze is unevenly distributed, revealing deep nuances and areas of concentration that enliven the ceramic surface. The incised lines and softened reliefs lend the piece a playful yet symbolic presence, the bat being traditionally associated with happiness and prosperity in Chinese culture. The craftsmanship demonstrates the refined artistry typical of scholars’ accessories, combining functionality and aesthetic value, and firmly rooted in the tradition of scholarly objects produced during the Ming Dynasty. 6 x 6 cm.
