Imperial Blue-and-White Jar, Yongzheng Mark & Period



This fine blue-and-white jar is an excellent example of Qing Imperial porcelain produced to imitate early Ming Dynasty wares. The jar has an ovoid body and a small mouth rim for placing the now-missing cap. Four large chrysanthemum flower roundels decorate the center of the body on top of a band of vertical continuous banana leaf motif. The shoulder is painted with a lappet band of waves. The underglaze blue pigment is of dark watery blue slightly blurred due to thick bubble suffused glaze. The blurred effect of its underglaze blue painting and the distinct orange-peel glaze were intended to imitate the blue-and-white pieces of early Ming Yongle and Xuande periods. The base is glazed with plain glaze with distinct bluish tint. The foot rim is unglazed and exposes the silky smooth porcelain body. A six-character Imperial Yongzheng mark within a double-ring is inscribed on the base in blue. This fine jar is in excellent condition with pristine glaze with virtually no wear.
size: height: 15.0cm; body diameter: 12.4cm; mouth rim diameter: 3.3cm; foot rim diameter: 7.4cm
