Blue and white cloud-dragon pattern square covered pot, Ming Jiajing, 15.5cm in height, 4.8cm in diameter and 5.4cm in foot diameter
The tank is square and covered. The cover is decorated with Ruyi cloud pattern, the can neck is decorated with echo pattern, the shoulder is painted with banana leaf pattern, the abdomen is painted with double cloud dragon patterns on four sides, and the foot edge is painted with deformed lotus petal pattern. At the bottom of the blue and white columns, there is a double-line six-character regular script with the words “made in Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty”
The manufacturing process of square objects is more difficult than that of round objects, and the objects are easy to deform. In the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there were many square objects, such as square bottles, square pots, square plates, and square cups, which reflected the technical level of the shaping of the objects in the Jiajing period. This four-sided jar is a representative work of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty
