Description

The bottle is in the shape of a gourd, with a circular upper part and a flattened lower part, with rectangular legs. Place a ribbon ear on both sides of the neck and shoulder. Decorated with blue and white and red colors, the blue and white are painted with sea patterns, while the red color is painted with dragon patterns and auspicious patterns in Tibetan Buddhism, including the umbrella and goldfish patterns. The surging sea water, with red and colorful dragons stirring up the sea, soaring through it with courage and agility, exuding a majestic aura. The instrument is supplemented by blue and white flower patterns, such as entangled branches and flower patterns, and loop patterns. The outer blue and white book is a six character, three line seal script made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. This bottle is modeled after Arabic bronze ware from West Asia and is also known as the "Moon Embracing Bottle" or "Treasure Moon Bottle". During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, imperial kilns began firing this artifact, including blue and white ware. During the Yongle Xuande period, there were blue and white glazed varieties. During the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, there were imitations of burning, which were renamed "Horse Hanging Bottles" and were carried by imperial relatives on horseback during their travels. Blue and white with red decoration is one of the varieties of Ming and Qing porcelain, dating back to the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. Its production process involves using red color with iron oxide as a coloring agent to depict patterns on fired blue and white porcelain, and baking it at low temperatures. Against the backdrop of blue and white porcelain, the alum red color becomes more and more dazzling and highly decorative. The vessel is dignified and elegant, with a well proportioned composition, clear patterns, and coordinated glaze and color matching, making it pleasing to the eye. There are very few rare treasures of this kind that can be found at home and abroad, and with their exquisite and exquisite appearance, there are few blue and white and red colored vessels that stand out from them.
