Five-coloured cloud phoenix gourd wall bottle, Ming Wanli, height 31 cm, mouth horizontal 3.7 cm, foot horizontal 11.7 cm
The bottle is in the shape of half a gourd and half a circle. The outer wall is decorated with blue and white colors. The upper abdomen is painted with cloud and phoenix patterns, the waist is painted with multiple cloud head patterns, and the lower abdomen is painted with flower and bird phoenix patterns. The back is printed with blue and white regular script “Da Ming Wanli Year System” in double lines and six characters. The outer blue and white columns are covered with lotus leaves on the top and folded lotus flowers on the bottom
The color of this bottle is thick and bright. Although the patterns are full, the theme is clear. The two phoenix flying in the air in the upper part and the phoenix standing on the ground in the lower part form a strong contrast between the dynamic and static of the whole picture, which can be regarded as the representative work of the Wanli multicolor porcelain
The wall bottle is also called the car bottle. The rear wall is flat, most of which have holes to hang it on the wall or car. It is the innovative shape of Ming Wanli.
