Blue-and-white and Underglaze Red Flat Pot with Dragon Design ITEM#
VJ50411 Size:
10" x 4" x 12.5" As the dragon stands for the emperor, emperor Qianlong regarded himself as the dragon accordingly. The dragon is an embodiment of an auspicious animal. Emperor Qianlong had a prejudice for the dragon since it smacks of imperial dignity. As the underglaze red was extremely difficult to fire in the kiln, it has always been treasured as antique porcelain. It is especially precious and rare when blue and white design and underglaze red were fired in one article at the same time. * Wood base include |
