About the Item

We are thrilled to present this exquisite Chinese porcelain long-neck bottle vase, a splendid representation of masterful craftsmanship and artistic tradition. The vase captivates with its intricate depiction of two scaly four-clawed dragons, rendered in a vibrant underglaze red, engaged in a fierce contest over a flaming pearl amidst a backdrop of swirling clouds and flickering flames. This dynamic scene, a powerful symbol of power, strength, and good fortune, is brought to life with meticulous detail and vivid imagery, creating a visual spectacle that is both fierce and majestic. Below this celestial battle, a band of crashing waves adds a dynamic element to the composition, grounding the fiery scene above with its fluid and rhythmic patterns, a beautiful representation of the yin and yang harmony found in nature. The vase stands on a pristine white ground, a choice that not only highlights the vibrant red and blue hues but also adds a touch of elegance and refinement to the piece. Adding to its authenticity and historical connection is a six-character apocryphal Qianlong mark, gracefully positioned at the base in underglaze blue. This mark, a nod to one of the most prosperous periods in Chinese porcelain artistry, adds a layer of historical depth and narrative richness to the vase. Whether displayed as a centerpiece or as part of a curated collection, this long-neck bottle vase promises to be a focal point, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural and artistic heritage of Chinese porcelain artistry, making it a treasured piece for any aficionado of fine art. circa: 20th Century (Modern)

Blue And White Yuan-style ‘Dragon’ Bottle Vase, Yuhuchunping, Early Qing dynasty
Located in seoul, KR
The vase is delicately potted featuring a pear-shaped body that rests on a slightly flared foot and extends upward into a trumpet-shaped neck. Its exterior showcases a dynamic, three-clawed dragon in stride amidst flames. This piece reflects a similar style to Yuan dynasty Yuhuchunping dragon vases, while reinterpreting certain details, such as the sharp and simplified shape of the dragon's head, the distinctive straight design of its claws, and the intricate depiction of the dragon’s scales. The sticker on the base indicates that the absolute age was determined through radiological mechanical appraisal using the quantum absolute dating method, with the results pointing to the early 18th century. Period : Qing Dynasty(Presumably Kangxi or Yongzheng Period) Type : Yuhuchunping Medium : Blue and White glaze Condition : Excellent(slight salt residue remains on the surface, and the glaze is worn primarily around the edges, such as mouth and base) Provenance: Southeast Asia, South China Sea from Shipwreck in early 2000s Reference : 1) Christies Hong Kong 26 SEP 2024 - Lot 2 (Price realised : 819,000 HKD / Type : related) * Yuan-Ming Style from Qing Dynasty During the Qing dynasty, many ceramics were produced that imitated the styles of the Ming and Yuan dynasties.
