Ask a Question

This jar represents the pinnacle of imperial blue-and-white porcelain from the Xuande period of the Ming dynasty. Rendered in rich “Sumaliqing” cobalt pigment, the decoration appears lush and vibrant, with inky hues permeating the porcelain body. Natural iron-spot crystallizations—appearing like falling stars—dot the glaze surface, adding a mineral depth unique to the finest Xuande wares. The body is robust yet refined, formed with precision on the wheel, with a neatly trimmed foot and a thick, jade-like glaze that exudes a subtle bluish tint under light.

The main motif depicts four fish swimming amidst aquatic plants and blooming lotuses. Executed in a mix of freehand brushwork and meticulous line drawing, the fish glide with elegance, their scales delicately outlined and fins undulating in rhythm with the imagined current. The surrounding flora—swaying algae and blossoming lotus buds—are rendered with nuanced brush control, creating a harmonious and balanced composition. This design subtly echoes the Daoist theme of joyful harmony in nature ("Fish at Play") while also conveying the auspicious wish for abundance and integrity.

Xuande blue-and-white porcelain evolved from Yuan traditions but introduced innovations in clay refinement, glaze formulation, and firing control, enabling the cobalt pigment to fuse deeply into the body. This jar stands as a consummate embodiment of 15th-century porcelain artistry and literati aesthetics—rare in surviving examples and of significant scholarly and artistic importance.

此罐為明代宣德官窯青花巔峰之作,通體繪以「蘇麻離青」鈷料,青花發色濃郁醇厚,墨韻入胎,釉面間見鐵鏽斑結晶,星點斑斕,展現天然礦料之獨特美感。胎骨堅實細密,器形周正端莊,拉坯修足一絲不苟;釉層肥潤凝亮,白中泛青,映襯青花更顯層次,御瓷風範一覽無遺。

紋飾為魚藻蓮池圖,筆法兼具寫意與工筆之妙:四尾游魚穿梭水草蓮葉之間,魚形生動,鱗片細描入微,魚鰭靈動飄逸,姿態各異;水藻輕盈飄搖,荷花含苞與盛放並陳,筆觸有輕重,佈局疏朗雅致,畫意深遠。圖案寓「魚樂」「年年有餘」之吉祥意涵,亦見道家自然之趣,展現宮廷藝術與哲思之結合。

宣德青花承元代遺風,經胎釉革新,達至青花入骨、色澤穩定之工藝高峰。此罐集繪畫性、禮器制與文人審美於一體,為十五世紀中國青花瓷藝與審美思想之結晶,傳世罕見,價值斐然。
