Period:Ming dynasty Production date:1506-1521 (circa)
Materials:porcelain
Technique:glazed, painted, underglazed,
Subjects:flower lotus
Dimensions:Height: 12.30 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain jar with underglaze blue, reserved white, and overglaze red, yellow and green enamels. This unusual ovoid jar has a short neck with a thickened rim and stands on a low narrow foot ring. Where the upper half of the jar has been joined to the lower half, a ridge is clearly visible inside beneath the glaze. Outside dense lotus scrolls in underglaze blue, with dark outlines and pale infill, adorn the upper and lower sections. Sandwiched between these is a band of chrysanthemum flowers reserved in white with yellow centres and some green petals and foliage on an overglaze red ground which is rather worn. The base is unglazed.

Comments:Harrison-Hall, 2001:Comparison of the lotus scroll with datable imperial porcelains suggests that the jar was made in the Zhengde period. Another jar combining a band of enamel decoration with flanking designs of lotus in underglaze blue, with the addition of a domed cover, is in the Princessehof Museum in Leeuwarden.
