This imperial Erhu represents a rare fusion of Qing dynasty blue-and-white porcelain craftsmanship with the musical instrument artistry of the Imperial Workshops. The soundbox is crafted from fine kaolin clay, painted with "Sumaliqing" cobalt pigment underglaze to depict a five-clawed imperial dragon soaring through clouds—its vigorous form and fierce claws a striking expression of imperial power. Fired at 1320°C, the blue-and-white glaze emerges with a deep, lustrous sheen unique to imperial ware.

The neck of the Erhu is hand-carved from century-old zitan wood, featuring a coiled chi-dragon motif that echoes the porcelain dragon head. Tuning pegs are inlaid with silver meander patterns, and the resonator face is covered with premium python skin, thin and evenly stretched for a wide, mellow tonal range. The soundhole is finely pierced with entwined lotus motifs, symbolizing auspicious continuity and noble birth.

Combining ceramics, wood carving, and acoustics, this piece is a triumph of the imperial court’s multidisciplinary artistry. Among Qianlong-era instruments, the fusion of blue-and-white porcelain with musical form is exceedingly rare—an embodiment of the Confucian ideal of “rites and music rule the realm.” With impeccable preservation and profound symbolic meaning, this Erhu is of outstanding cultural and collector’s value.
