MING DYNASTY, YONGLE PERIOD
the elegant form rising from a slightly waisted base to broad, generous shoulders, well painted in soft washes of cobalt, with a wide band of six fruiting sprays arranged in an alternating double register, the upper register showing detached peach, pomegranate and crab apple, the lower register with lychee, loquat and cherry, the leafy branches further issuing small blossoms and buds, all between double-line borders, the shoulders encircled by a band of lotus petals enclosing elaborate trefoils, the foot skirted by a band of upright overlapping leaves, the underglaze blue with characteristic 'heaped and piled' effect giving the designs depth and texture, all beneath a slightly blue-tinted vitreous glaze suffused with a natural 'soft paste' craquelure, the base left unglazed, the neck mounted with a 19th century beaded silver rim
Height 11 5/8 ., 29.5 cm
