Fine Chinese Porcelain Famille Verte Doucai Dragon Covered Ginger Jar Modern 20c

About the Item

We are delighted to showcase this exquisite Chinese porcelain covered ginger jar, a piece that embodies the pinnacle of craftsmanship and artistic excellence. The jar captivates the beholder with its vibrant depiction of a slithering scaly dragon in pursuit of a coveted pearl, a classic motif that symbolizes power, authority, and good fortune in Chinese culture. The five clawed dragon dragon, a creature revered for its might and wisdom, is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, its scales and sinuous form brought to life in the vibrant hues of the famille verte doucai palette. This color scheme, characterized by its delicate and harmonious blend of green, covering finely painted thin outlines in underglaze blue, adds a layer of depth and sophistication to the depiction, making the scene come alive with a dynamic and fluid energy. Adding to the visual allure is the six-character apocryphal mark gracefully positioned at the base within the footring. This mark not only authenticates the piece but also connects it to a rich tradition of porcelain artistry, adding a layer of historical and cultural significance to the jar. Whether as a standalone piece or as a highlight in a curated collection, this covered ginger jar stands as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Chinese porcelain craftsmanship. Its vibrant imagery and intricate details promise to captivate and enchant, making it a cherished addition to any collection of fine art. circa: late 20th Century (Modern) For a Qianlong example of the same style, see "Joined Colors, Decoration and meaning in Chinese Porcelain, Ceramics from Collectors in the Min Chiu Society, Hong Kong" (Catalog page 117)
