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.

Blue and white porcelain vase, Qing dynasty, Tongzhi (1862 - 1874)

A porcelain vase decorated in blue on white underglaze. The shade of blue is cobalt and takes on various shades to form the pattern. The shape has a curved neck with a flaring mouth on a stylised body and a circular foot. The neck and shoulders are decorated with consecutive decorative bands: banana leaves, honeysuckle motifs and 'ruyi' cloud heads. The belly is complete with a palace garden landscape consisting of rocks, bamboo and banana trees. Around the fence there is vegetation and flowering shrubs. Near the foot are cartouches and a pattern of lotus petals.

Blue-and-white vases of this shape and design were produced during the reigns of Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi and Guangxu. On the base is a six-character mark '大清同治年制' (Dà qīng tóngzhì nián zhì) in underglaze blue.
