Stoutly potted Chinese porcelain deep vessel jar, of globular body below the banded flat rim, gently tappered toward flat base. The exterior decorated with blend tint of multiple shades artistically applied washes of the very difficult underglaze red made from copper oxide, depicted the imperial five-claws dragons striding amidst flames and fumes in pursuit of the wish-granting flaming pearl, banded with repeated geometrical cressting wavt water motif and interlocking ruyi heads pattern under the rim. Elegantly displayed upon a carved hardwood stand.
The immaculate porcelain body covered with a characteristic silky glaze, pooling on the base slightly veiling the mark. The glaze stopped above the foot, revealed the pale-creme unglazed ground, with the central circle base left white under glazed. Equisitely presented upon an open-work carved hardwood stand. The shape is uniformly proportioned. The porcelain conformed all required specimen to be high valued Chinese GuanYao porcelain Imperial wares , with finest material, the whiteness, the glaze, the painting, and the shape. Without overlap the outlines of the design, well drawn, clear, subtle, and distinct. The clay is fine and exquisite, the glaze smooth, brilliant with a moist appearance, the finishing meticulous.
