Description

DIMENSIONS: 22.5cm (Width) 22.4cm (Depth) 44cm (Height)

The vase has a high profile, a short neck and broad shoulders. The long body gradually shrinks till short and rounded foot followed by a sand outer bottom. The off-white porcelain body is covered by a thick and beige glaze. This item also has rough cracks and overglazed colors. Patterns throughout the vase are not layered. Instead, it is full of colorful flowers on a ground of blue, decorated with the traditional Chinese character, 壽 (pinyin shou, literally “longevity”). In the white panels, five-clawed golden dragons can be seen. The colorful clouds and red glaze highlight the powerful bearing of the dragons in flight, which glare ferociously and bare their fangs. On each, the left forepaw stretches forward while the right one extends rearward, sharp and dagger-like. Painted incisively and vividly, the dragons fly before the star. In addition, coupled with the ruyi pattern, the dragons have a strong mien and vibrant colors.

This precious plum vase is rare among those of its kind in China, and multicolor plum vases are particularly so. Even rarer is the use of five claws, given the fact that dragons on a plume vase are primarily three- or four-clawed. As we all know, dragons were symbols of legend and myth created by the laboring people and passed on to succeeding generations. Eventually, however, dragons were representative of feudal emperors. The dragon pattern then became exclusive to feudal emperors and was, since the Song and Yuan dynasties, rare in the context of folk craft. Artworks were no exception. For example, during the Yuan dynasty it was stipulated that only Mongolian s could wear clothes that depicted the dragon motif. That stipulation, however, became increasingly strict after the Ming dynasty. Thus, the art of the dragon pattern evolved to a distinct characteristic of the times, with five claws indicating the dragon while four claws meant the boa. Garments with five-clawed dragons were known as dragon robes, while those with four-clawed dragons, the boa robe. Nonetheless, the dragon originated in the folk, and folk art is difficult to monopolize. Despite the repeated orders of emperors, varied dragon patterns could still be found in folk craft. That’s why there are three -, four- and five-clawed dragon patterns. The dragons on this plume vase are of the five-claw type.
