Imperial Wucai “Kongming” Bowl with Carved Dragon and Historical Figures, Wanli Period, Ming Dynasty

This exceptional “Kongming” bowl from the Wanli reign of the Ming dynasty represents a pinnacle of imperial porcelain artistry. Its distinctive double-walled form, known as "Kongming bowl," reflects the ancient Chinese philosophy of "hiding skill in simplicity," with a hollow interior that serves both functional and aesthetic purposes.

The bowl is glazed overall with a rich, blood-red copper-based glaze (known as fahua red), setting a dramatic backdrop for vivid wucai (five-colour) enamel painting. Blue-and-white underglaze is combined with green, yellow, and red overglaze enamels to depict detailed narrative scenes of historical figures, full of vitality and movement. Surrounding the figures are intricately carved high-relief cloud and dragon motifs, the dragon’s sinewy body and flaring claws rendered with imposing dynamism, symbolising imperial majesty and divine protection.

The base bears a six-character underglaze blue reign mark, Da Ming Wanli Nianzhi (“Made in the Wanli reign of the Great Ming”), written in fine, forceful regular script, consistent with the standards of imperial kilns.

Wanli-period wucai wares are renowned for their vibrant colours and elaborate compositions. This piece uniquely integrates both relief carving and polychrome painting—an extremely rare combination. The red glaze remains bright and luminous despite centuries of age, a testament to the kiln mastery of the period. Comparable examples are held in leading museum collections and have been featured in top-tier international auctions. It stands as an outstanding representative of late Ming imperial porcelain, embodying both scholarly importance and exceptional collectability.
