專家說明

Liu Hai is the Daoist god of wealth and prosperity and is invariably accompanied by his three-legged toad. A ruby-back dish of very similar form and size depicting the immortal Li Tieguai is in the Boymans-van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam, illustrated by C.J.A. Jörg, Oriental Porcelain, 1995, no. 26. It is very unusual for gods and immortals to be depicted on ruby-back porcelain.
