Qing Dynasty Dragonflower Plum Bottle

In the just-concluded Beijing Baoli 2010 spring shoot, a blue-and-green dragon dragon plum that blends with the father and son of the Qiang Qiang Emperor took a high price of 35.84 million yuan. According to historical records, Hongli revered himself as an exemplary model of the Ming Dynasty since his childhood. At the beginning of Qianlong's ascension, he always followed various regulations of the Former Kingdom and tried to fully inherit the artistic position and aesthetic taste of the Emperor Yongzheng. The sentiment is particularly evident in the imperial porcelain firing. Many of the important categories first created during the Yongzheng period continued to be burnt in the early days of Qianlong, and its character is the same as that of the former. This product is a testimony to this unique historical feeling.

This product is 33cm high, beautiful shape, elegant temperament, the mouth and the bottom of each painted a seawater wave pattern, this unique edge decoration in the dry world is the symbol of the eternal wares. Themed motifs are flowers and dragons. Seeing that the four dragons emptied out of the air, they rushed into the flowers. They were fierce and frightened, and they were astounded with excitement, but they responded to each other in different ways. The spirit of the king stirred them up, giving people awe in the midst of reading. . Its blue and green hair is bright and eye-catching. It is still like ink and wash. The exquisiteness of its glazes, such as jade and lustrous brilliance, highlights the beauty of extraordinary beauty. The plum vase is one of the most elegant and important styles in the porcelain styling in the past. Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the value quality was higher than that of the peers.

This plum blossom ornament is special, and its imagery implications are worth exploring further. The four dragons painted in the bottle have a positive image of Lilong. They are articulate and have eyes open. They must be floating and not angry. It is unusual for the claws to be three claws. It is rare. The “three-claw dragon” is the main body of the dragon pattern in the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, such as the Ding kiln of the Song Dynasty, the Cizhou kiln, the blue and white glaze of the Yuan Dynasty, and the dragon pattern on the white glaze. Qing Dynasty is less common, such as Qingzhengzhengqinghuahailonglan necklined bottle, the main ornamentation is a five-claw dragon high above, the three-claw dragon echoes in the next high, the meaning of the Canglong godson, including the five-claw dragon symbol of the emperor, three The claw dragon symbolizes the prince. It is a piece of artifact that embodies Yongzheng and his father and son. The image of the “three-claw frontal dragon” painted by this piece of plum bottle was not seen in the Yongzheng Dynasty. It seems to be the unique creation of the Qianlong Dynasties. To infer its meaning, first, inheriting the schema of the aforementioned Yongzheng Canglong godson, the “three-claw dragon” prince has already inherited Datong and became an emperor at this time. Therefore, the positive dragon should be used to express the image of Tianzi, but to honor the father, Still performing in the form of a three-pronged pawn when facing the Emperor Tianlong himself, he also placed his cherish feelings of empathy. Second, it seems to be the relationship between the figures "three" and the "dry" images. The cognac image is “≡”, which is the image emblem and auspicious figures of Emperor Qianlong. Shuanglong’s image of “≡” often appears in the Qianlong Emperor's seal.

Mei Ping is a classic imperial porcelain of the Qianlong Dynasty. It is rich in variety, rich in decoration, and less in quantity and quality. Among them, one of the blue and white flowers is an ancient one, handed down as two types, one is a blue and white flower. One is wearing a dragon flower (this product), and the latter is far less valuable than the former, and is extremely rare. Regarding the specific firing time of the Qianlong Dongqing Lanhua ancient plum vase, there was only one reference to the Qing Palace archives. See Qianlong's three years of the Qing Dynasty House Affairs Office's office project in Jiangxi Province. Record: “June 25: Seven product leaders Samuha and Boshui Bai Shixiu said that the eunuch Gao Yujiao ... the Xuanqiu Blue and White Plum Blossom Bottle and the Xuanqiu Blue and White Flower Sanguo Plum Blossom Bottle have a purpose to pass on and create the magnetic device Tang Ying still to make.” After decades of archives, no information was found on the blue-flavored plum vase. From this, it can be inferred that the firing time of this product was about three years after Emperor Qianlong’s death. The device is an important and rare representative of Qianlong blue and white plum bottles.
