This magnificent vase represents the zenith of imperial porcelain from the Xuande reign of the Ming Dynasty. With its grand, full-bodied silhouette—long neck and rounded belly—it embodies regal elegance and technical perfection. The dense, luminous white body reveals the high refinement of the clay used, forming the ideal canvas for the intricate cobalt blue design.

Painted in imported “Sumali Qing” cobalt—a prized pigment sourced from West Asia—the five-clawed dragon coils amidst billowing clouds and flaming motifs. The dragon’s sinewy body and tightly rendered scales are imbued with life, each stroke revealing the bold yet disciplined hand of a court artisan. The cobalt blue emerges rich and intense, with graceful haloing effects that speak to the masterful control of kiln atmosphere.

What truly elevates this piece is the application of gold detailing over the dragon’s body—a technique seldom seen. The gold powder, mixed with alum solution and applied after the initial high-temperature firing, is re-fired at low temperature to affix it securely. The interplay between resplendent gold and vibrant blue radiates imperial majesty.

The glaze is thick and lustrous, resembling layers of congealed fat—an admired trait of Xuande wares. This vase exemplifies the signature “one-stroke” painting technique associated with Xuande imperial kilns, where even complex motifs are rendered with fluid precision. It stands as a masterwork uniting form, painting, and firing—an unrivaled treasure of national significance. With its profound artistic, historical, and collectible value, it is a benchmark masterpiece fervently sought after by top-tier collectors.
