This is a vase from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty in China. The size is 40.5 cm in height, with a maximum width of 18.5 cm. During the Wanli period, due to wars and political turmoil, the production of porcelain was neglected, and it was difficult to refine the white porcelain properly. The characteristic of this period is to cover the stained white porcelain with overglaze painting. It's hard to see, but this vase also has a dull white color. However, even in decline, one can feel the pride of the Jingdezhen imperial kiln, which closed for nearly 50 years during the subsequent Qing Dynasty. The vase is painted with a type of cobalt blue called "Huihui Qing" from that time, which was dark and vibrant but prone to bleeding, making it difficult to handle. This is why the blue dragons and other details are not finely depicted. In the early Wanli period, the overall painting tended to be well-executed. In the later Wanli period, the cobalt blue changed, and the painting became even less skilled. This beauty of imperfection has been loved by the Japanese for a long time, and the prominent red color is particularly characteristic. It is highly valued as Wanli red-painted ware and is a very precious item. The condition is also good. I apologize for any return scams, but please note that this item is non-returnable.
