Description

The dragon depicted in this work is majestic, soaring between the sea and clouds, reflecting red and blue. It successfully combines Song painting techniques with porcelain painting, a new artistic medium, which has left viewers amazed. As mentioned earlier, the cloud dragon pattern depicted in this product is derived from the Chen Rong ink dragon painting, with a vivid charm. The sharp three toed dragon claws are particularly eye-catching and have distinct characteristics of the times. This type of dragon pattern is common in Tang, Song, and Yuan arts and crafts, while it is extremely rare in the Qing Dynasty. At this time, almost all official kilns were modeled as five clawed dragons. Looking at the reason for this, it can be concluded that this product uses Chen Rong painting as a powder, which is a unique "painting meaning" imperial porcelain. It is worth noting that the aforementioned Qianlong kiln "Blue and White Cloud Dragon Pattern Celestial Sphere Bottle" clearly states in the publications of the Palace Museum in Beijing that it was a "Xuanyao Enlarged Celestial Sphere Bottle" fired by the imperial kiln factory in the third year of Qianlong. The Qianlong kiln "Blue and White Glazed Red Cloud Dragon Pattern Celestial Sphere Bottle" is also a typical early Qianlong model.
