A Copper-Red Decorated “Okra Flower with Gilding” Jar, Ming Dynasty, Chenghua Period — A Pinnacle of Enamel and Court Aesthetics

This exceptional jar exemplifies the refined artistry of the Chenghua imperial kilns. Modeled after a classic Ming form, the vessel is perfectly proportioned with smooth, elegant curves. The body is thinly potted with a pure white, jade-like glaze that radiates with a soft inner glow, highlighting the superb quality of the porcelain.

The surface is richly adorned in underglaze copper-red with a scrolling okra blossom motif. The red pigment emerges through the glaze in subtle gradients—deep crimson, lavender, and grayish undertones—recalling the poetic image of “rosy clouds over snowy fields.” The floral design is finely painted with precision brushwork, each leaf and tendril rendered with lifelike fluidity. The full-bloom blossoms convey nobility and grace, appropriate for an imperial commission.

What makes this jar particularly rare is the additional gilding delicately applied to the veins of the leaves and the center of the blossoms. The interplay between the shimmering gold and the glowing red creates a luxurious visual harmony, rarely encountered even among Chenghua porcelains. The application of gilding on top of underglaze copper-red was an exceptionally difficult process—requiring an additional low-temperature firing with perfect heat control, as the gold could easily melt or fade. Very few examples survive in such pristine condition.

The creation of such a piece involved countless refined steps: expertly levigated clay, specially prepared glaze recipes known only to the imperial workshops, and precise kiln firing at both high and low temperatures. The copper-red color, being volatile and hard to control, had to be painted in one flawless stroke before firing, leaving no room for error. The successful fusion of red pigment and gilding attests to the peak of Ming ceramic craftsmanship.

This jar is a masterwork of Chenghua copper-red porcelain, further enhanced by its rare use of gilding. With exquisite decoration, masterful execution, and imperial provenance, it stands as a supreme example of the fusion between technical prowess and courtly taste. Such vessels are exceedingly rare on the market and represent a pinnacle of Ming ceramic art, eagerly sought after by discerning collectors worldwide.

明成化 釉裡紅纏枝秋葵紋罐 —— 彩瓷技藝與宮廷美學的頂峰之作

此罐仿明成化御窯經典器型,器形端莊飽滿,線條圓潤流暢,胎體潔白細緻如凝脂,釉面溫潤晶瑩,猶如美玉含光,展現成化瓷器一貫之「精、雅、柔」風格。

全器裝飾釉裡紅彩,色澤沉穩而層次豐富,發色由釉下透出,形成如「霞映雪」般紅白交融之絢麗效果。紋飾為纖細工筆描繪之纏枝秋葵,枝葉婉轉,花瓣舒展,構圖繁而不亂,氣韻生動自然。釉裡紅色澤隨火候變化產生深淺暈染,紅中帶紫、紫中隱灰,盡顯高超控火技藝。

尤為難得者,花蕊與葉脈施以鎏金點綴,金彩熠熠生輝,與紅彩互映生光,增添富麗堂皇之氣象。此種釉裡紅結合鎏金之工藝極為罕見,不僅成本高昂,且須低溫精控重燒,稍有偏差即前功盡棄,故能成器者寥寥無幾。

整件作品須經數十道工序始能完成:胎土精煉、釉料調配秘傳、施彩技巧精準、窯燒火候嚴控,特別是釉裡紅施彩須一次完成,無法修改,製作難度極高。鎏金則需低溫再燒,保持金彩鮮明不剝落,為成化御窯技術之結晶。

此罐不僅為釉裡紅瓷之頂尖之作,更因其罕見之鎏金工藝而彌足珍貴。紋飾華美卻不失儒雅,紅金交映,製作精妙絕倫,實為明代彩瓷與宮廷美學之完美結合。歷來市場估值節節攀升,為藏家夢寐以求之傳世名品。
