O soše
The eighteenth-century Waterpot with Ram’s Head Spout in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, is carved from white Chinese jade. This especially valued variety is called mutton-fat jade. Its luminous purity carried associations with the virtues of an ideal Confucian scholar, while translucency invited moral and poetic comparisons. On view in gallery 240B Chinese Decorative Arts.
Slovy muzea
Pure white jade like this, known to the Chinese as "mutton-fat" jade, is particularly prized. The white color has been the preferred shade of jade throughout the ages. The radiance and purity are linked metaphorically to the virtues of the ideal Confucian scholar. The translucent quality of the jade has moral and poetic allusions attached to it.
