Comments:Published PDF date : Ming Xuande 1426-1435 Room 95 label text:PDF 600Gourd-shaped flaskThis gourd-shaped flask has an underglaze blue Xuande reign mark. Potters decorated the round bodyof the flask with stylised flowers which resemble patterns made by kaleidoscopes. The blue of the Xuande flask is typically much paler than that of the Yongle flask (PDF 674). Syrian craftsmen made metal flasks in this shape in the fourteenth century. The Xuande emperor’s interest in foreign metalwork forms reflects the cordial diplomatic and economic relations between China and countries in the Middle East such as Syria during his reign.Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue decorationJingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮Ming dynasty, Xuande mark and period, AD 1426–35 PDF 600葫蘆形扁壺此葫蘆形扁壺署青花宣德年款。陶工們在扁壺的圓形器身裝飾格式化花卉紋，形成類似萬花筒般的裝飾圖案。宣德扁壺的青花呈色通常來說較永樂扁壺（PDF674）暗淡許多。十四世紀，敘利亞工匠製作這種器形的金屬扁壺。宣德皇帝對這種外來金屬器皿的興趣，也反映了其在位期間，中國與中東國家如敘利亞等之間友好的外交與經濟交流。瓷器，青花江西省景德鎮明代，宣德，宣德款，1426-1435年
