Description:
|
The exterior shows ten sets of cloud and dragon motif, each comprising a panel framed by a double, hooking line in the form of a parallelogram. The interior shows a dragon traipsing through clouds, bordered by two blue lines, echoing those two fringing the rim. The blue pigment is brilliant and dense, thus forming many greenish, ferrous brown specks. The clear glaze shows a blue tinge. The base contains the reign mark in regular script - "made in the Xuande era of Great Ming" - in two columns.
