| 説明 | F1952.5a-b 1403-1424 CE Porcelain with cobalt decoration under colorless glaze H x W: 24.8 x 15.2 cm (9 3/4 x 6 in)Improvements in porcelain production, including in the removal of impurities from clay, led to a new desire in the Yongle reign to create spacious designs that showcased the snowy brilliance of the porcelain itself. The imagery here is standard of the Yongle period, including the motifs' display of natural color variations in the blue that result from mineral inclusions in the cobalt imported from Iran. During firing, silvery-black-purple crystalline spots were often produced, a separation of colors known as the "heaped and piled" effect.The fluidly painted lotus flowers, buds, large leaves, and grain stalks display a sensitive observation of nature that was new in Yongle-period porcelain decoration. The combination of lotus and grain stalks was probably understood as a visual pun, or rebus, reading "Peace year after year"--an especially good motto for the Yongle emperor, who had usurped the throne and needed to establish stability at the court. |
