- Category: Ceramics

- Material: Mineral/ceramic/porcelain
- Description:
The shape of the vase is similar to the six petal lotus flower pot of Jun Kiln in the Ming Dynasty. The mouth edge is turned outward. The lotus petal foot is short and round, and the white fetus is exposed on the foot. The seal script of “made in the year of Yongzheng” is inscribed on the bottom of the vase, and four round water seepage holes are carved. Yellow green tea powder glaze, with orange peel shaped pores on the glaze surface and dark brown edges on the body. The white mud can resist the seepage hole, and can be used to plant water plants or make artificial flower bonsai. In the Jiazi year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1744), Leng Mei imitated Qiu Ying’s book “Spring Dawn in the Han Palace” (hence the painting 01,717). On the stone table, a blooming narcissus was planted in a flowerpot with lotus flowers and sunflowers. According to Fang Yizhi’s “Little Knowledge of Physics” at the end of the reign of Emperor Chongzhen (1643) of the Ming Dynasty, the way to plant narcissus was: “potted sand and stone for water in October, without soil.”. It can be seen that the flowerpot without seepage hole is suitable for planting narcissus. In the Qing Dynasty, Wang Chengpei (? – 1805) painted celadon lotus in “Ten Thousand Years of Flower Armor” (hence painting 01703)
