Comments:Published PDF date : Ming Chenghua 1465-1487 Room 95 label text:PDF 797Doucai jar with camellias and rocks The pattern on this ovoid jar is extremely rare. It is decorated with a repeated design of three stylised rocks in aubergine, green, and yellow enamel respectively, each flanked by camellias using shades of red, yellow and combined red and yellow to make orange with butterflies in between, and a ground of blue washes. Originally this jar would have had a cover. Jingdezhen potters made copies of this pattern in the Yongzheng period (AD 1723–35) of the Qing dynasty.Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue and overglaze enamel decorationJingdezhen, Jiangxi province江西省, 景德鎮Ming dynasty, Chenghua mark and period, AD1465–87 PDF 797鬥彩岩石茶花紋罐此卵形罐上所繪紋飾極為罕見。器身重複繪製了三組格式化岩石圖案，分別為茄皮紫、綠及黃彩，每組岩石兩側繪茶花，以紅及黃彩渲染，另有由紅及黃彩組成的橙色，花間蝴蝶飛舞，地面則以藍彩繪制。此罐原應有蓋。清代雍正時期（1723-1735年）景德鎮的陶工們燒造了此類瓷器的仿品。瓷器，青花，釉上彩江西省景德鎮明代，成化，成化款，1465-1487年
