[Blue and White Cloud Dragon Pattern Chi Ear Vase]
Blue and White Cloud Dragon Pattern Chi Ear Vase, Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, with a height of 25 centimeters, a caliber of 6.5 centimeters, and a foot diameter of 7 centimeters
Bottle skimming, straight neck, shoulder slip, long round belly, and circular feet. The two sides of the neck are symmetrically arranged with dragon ears. The interior is painted with white glaze, and the exterior wall is painted with blue and white cloud dragon patterns, supplemented by Ruyi cloud head patterns, sea water patterns, and circle dot patterns. Apply white glaze inside the ring foot. On the outsole, there are three lines and six characters of the blue and white seal script “Made in the Jiaqing Year of the Qing Dynasty”
The dragon on the bottle has a vigorous posture, walking through the fire clouds above the sea water, giving a fierce visual impression. The decorative themes of Jiaqing blue and white flowers are rich, and they are significantly influenced by Qianlong blue and white flowers. In terms of painting skills, it changes with the shape, with fine and smooth strokes. The composition gradually changes from red tape to sparse and clear, and meticulous brushwork is more than freehand brushwork. The shape of the dragon on this bottle reflects the decorative style of the period of Qianlong’s transition towards the Jiaqing dynasty.
