Seated Figure of an Official, Burrell Collection
Another of my favourite exhibits in the Burrell Collection. It is Chinese, Ming Dynasty, dated 1609. Stoneware with enamel on biscuit - whatever that is, I must find out.
I wanted to Blip his head against the background of the autumn colours in the wood behind the building. I think he has a very grand pose. He is larger than lifesize.
I attended one of the themed tours, with the rather uninteresting title of "Containers : to fill or not to fill? That is the question". There were only five in the group, and we spent a fascinating hour considering items such as the huge Warwick Vase, Chinese funerary urns, armour, and beautifully crafted sweet bags. Good to learn from an enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guide.
