Asian Art Museum
San Francisco, United States
This rectangular bird feeder is made of porcelain panels and lacquered wood, with ornaments of carved ivory. The lacquer surface is decorated with golden images against a black background, echoing the blue scenes on the white porcelain panels. The receptacle on the short side contained bird feed, which would be automatically fed from the tall side.
