Vase with dragon
Asian Art Museum
San Francisco, United States
清朝雍正 江西景德鎮窯 藍地青花 雲海行龍梅瓶
The dragon symbolizes the emperor of China as well as high rank and power. This vase represents an attempt to revive the style of dragon decorations from the Xuande emperor's reign (1426-1435). The artisan painted numerous dark specks on the blue areas to imitate the natural "heaped-and-piled" effect of the cobalt decoration on Xuande porcelains.
