Blue and white plum vase with branch and fruit patterns

Total Height: 37.1 cm Bottom Diameter: 14 cm Top Diameter: 6.3 cm The plum vase belongs to the traditional form of blue and white porcelain and is a major category within this art form. In the Yuan Dynasty, the plum vase was characterized by its tall stature, exhibiting a unique and majestic presence. Although it experienced a decline in the early Ming period, it resurged during the Yongle period, adopting a more elegant form and becoming a classic in the world of porcelain. This particular plum vase features a small mouth and is adorned with Ruyi cloud patterns on the shoulder and abdomen, showcasing an exquisite artistic style. The upper and lower sections of the vase display intricate branch and fruit patterns, including peaches, pomegranates, persimmons, lychees, loquats, and grapes. A lotus petal border surrounds the lower part of the vase, filled with additional branch and flower decorations, while a scroll pattern graces the near bottom. The painting is detailed, and the patterns are rich and layered. The overall color is deep and vibrant, using imported Su Ma Li Qing material that incorporates naturally occurring black spots, adding a more nuanced artistic expression to the piece.
