PREFERRED LOT
50 - A fine and rare blue and white "Dragon" meiping, Qing dynasty, Qianlong period (1736 - 1795)
Delicately potted blue-and-white underglaze porcelain vase. The "meiping" vase shape is perfectly modelled, with high shoulders, and a short, notched neck, slightly open and with a rounded rim. The form rises from a circular base that widens elegantly. The neck is decorated with banana leaves, followed by a band of undulating waves and another of "ruyi" over the shoulders. The sides densely painted with five meticulously rendered five-clawed dragons portrayed emerging from crashing waves and flying between stylized clouds and flames. Their bodies are coiled and show vigorous postures in which their claws formed by five phalanges stand out. In general, each of their faces, although different, show an expression of respect and perfectly convey the imposing symbolism related to the emperor.
On the base a six-characters seal mark and period of Qianlong "大清乾隆年制" (Dà qīng qiánlóng nián zhì), executed in underglaze blue.

The figure is supported by a wooden base carved with floral elements. It is in good condition, with wear and patina due to age. Jade panels were popular in the Qing dynasty, usually inserted into wooden seats.
