About the Item
The blue dragon and the red dragon are depicted in dynamic postures, each extending its claws to grasp a ruyi pearl (如意珠). The phoenix is adorned with flowing feathers and delicate coloration. Around the dragons and phoenix, vibrant petals appear to be scattered with balance, a traditional decorative element representing prosperity and auspiciousness.
The upper rim of the ceramic vessel features a continuous geometric pattern arranged in a regular sequence, while the lower section also displays repeating auspicious motifs. The base is left unglazed, preserving the natural texture of the clay. The quality of the painting is exceptional, showcasing a balanced composition and intricate coloring techniques. The cobalt blue underglaze was applied and fired first, followed by the subsequent application and firing of other colored pigments.
