Large Blue-and-White Underglaze Red Bowl with Mandarin Ducks Playing in Water and Blue Glaze Water Patterns

[Collection Overview]

This piece is a classic work of traditional Chinese blue-and-white underglaze red porcelain art. It is in the form of a large open-mouthed bowl. The whole body is based on white glaze, combining the double underglaze coloring techniques of blue-and-white and underglaze red. The outer wall is decorated with blue glaze dotted with water patterns, while the inner wall features a theme pattern of mandarin ducks playing in water. The rim is adorned with intertwined floral patterns. The overall composition of the bowl is full, and the color contrast is sharp. It combines both practical and collection value, making it a precious collection that reflects traditional Eastern aesthetics and ceramic craftsmanship.

[Craftsmanship Analysis]

1.Double Underglaze Coloring of Blue-and-White and Underglaze Red

Blue-and-white uses cobalt oxide as the coloring agent, and after firing under the glaze, it presents a deep blue tone with a rich and stable color. Underglaze red, on the other hand, uses copper as the coloring agent and needs to be fired at high temperature in a reducing atmosphere, resulting in a vivid and bright red color. Firing these two techniques in the same kiln requires extremely high control over temperature and kiln fire, which has always been a difficult problem in ceramic art. In this piece, both the blue-and-white and underglaze red have uniform color development, demonstrating the skilled fire control techniques of the craftsmen at that time.

2.Blue Glaze Water Pattern Decoration

The outer wall of the bowl is coated with a uniform blue glaze, with a smooth and lustrous surface. After delicate crackling treatment, water patterns are embossed or engraved, echoing the theme of mandarin ducks playing in water on the inner wall, creating an artistic effect of “scenes both inside and outside”. This reflects the ancient people’s aesthetic pursuit of “harmony between man and nature”.

[Pattern Symbolism]

1.Rim Decoration: Intertwined Floral Patterns

The rim of the bowl is painted with intertwined leaf patterns in blue-and-white, with underglaze red flowers dotted in between. The leaves are smoothly stretched, and the red flowers are extremely charming. The intertwined patterns symbolize endless growth and long-lasting prosperity, while the red flowers imply good luck and celebration, setting a magnificent and auspicious tone for the whole piece.

2.Main Pattern in the Bowl Center: Mandarin Ducks Playing in Water

In the center of the bowl, a pair of mandarin ducks are painted with fine blue-and-white brushes, swimming among the water waves and flowers. The feathers of the mandarin ducks are clearly layered, and their postures are vivid. Mandarin ducks have been a symbol of loyal love and harmonious marriage since ancient times. Paired with the plum blossoms (or orchids) dotted around, it adds a touch of elegance, implying “a perfect match and harmonious relationship”.

[Material and Condition]

  • Body Material: Fine kaolin is selected, with a firm and compact body. The body is well-shaped, and the fine texture of the body can be seen at the exposed part of the bottom foot, indicating meticulous craftsmanship.
  • Glaze Surface: The white glaze is pure and lustrous. The colors of the blue-and-white underglaze red and blue glaze are clearly layered. The glaze surface is smooth, and the crackles (if any) are fine and natural. It has maintained a good condition over time.

[Collection and Display Value]

Blue-and-white underglaze red was a precious variety highly favored by the royal family and literati in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Due to the high firing difficulty and rare quantity in existence, it has always been a hot item in the collection market. This piece has a classic theme and exquisite craftsmanship. It can be collected as an antique ceramic to supplement the Eastern ceramic system. It can also be displayed in a study or living room, adding a classical and elegant charm to the space and showcasing the profound heritage of Eastern culture.

[Maintenance Suggestions]

  • Avoid severe collision or vibration to prevent the expansion of crackles or damage to the porcelain body.
  • When cleaning, gently wipe with a soft dry cloth and avoid using chemical cleaners.
  • When displaying, keep it away from direct sunlight and high-temperature environments, and maintain a dry and well-ventilated place.
Note: This is an antique collection. Please refer to the actual item for the detailed patterns, size, and specific age. It is recommended to have it appraised by a professional before collection.

青花釉里紅鴛鴦戲水藍釉水紋大碗

【藏品概述】

本品為中國傳統青花釉里紅瓷藝經典之作,器形為敞口大碗,通體以白釉為地,結合青花與釉里紅雙重釉下彩工藝,外壁施藍釉點綴水紋,內壁繪製鴛鴦戲水主題紋飾,口沿飾纏枝花卉紋,整器構圖飽滿,色彩對比鮮明,兼具實用與收藏價值,是體現東方傳統審美與陶瓷技藝的珍貴藏品。

【工藝解析】

1.青花釉里紅雙重釉下彩

青花以氧化鈷為呈色劑,釉下燒製後呈現深藍色調,色澤濃艷穩定;釉里紅則以銅為呈色劑,需在還原氣氛中高溫燒成,紅色鮮活明快。兩種工藝同爐燒製,對溫度、窯火控制要求極高,歷來為陶瓷藝術中的難題,本品青花與釉里紅发色均勻,顯示當時工匠嫻熟的控火技藝。

2.藍釉水紋裝飾

碗外壁施均勻藍釉,釉面瑩潤,經細緻開片處理,模印或刻劃水紋紋樣,與內壁鴛鴦戲水主題呼應,形成「內外皆景」的藝術效果,體現古人「天人合一」的審美追求。

【紋飾寓意】

1.口沿邊飾:纏枝花卉紋

碗口沿以青花繪製纏枝葉紋,間隔點綴釉里紅花卉,葉片舒展流暢,紅花嬌艷欲滴。纏枝紋象徵生生不息、富貴綿長,紅花寓意吉祥喜慶,為整器奠定富麗祥和的基調。

2.碗心主紋:鴛鴦戲水

碗心以青花細筆繪製一對鴛鴦,游弋於水波與花卉之間,鴛鴦毛羽層次分明,動態生動。鴛鴦自古為愛情忠貞、夫妻和美的象徵,搭配周圍點綴的梅花(或蘭花),更添清雅之氣,寓意「鴛鴦配對,琴瑟和鳴」。

【材質與品相】

  • 胎質:選用細膩高嶺土,胎體堅致緊密,修胎規整,底足露胎處可見細密胎質,顯示精工細作。
  • 釉面:白釉潔白瑩潤,青花釉里紅與藍釉色彩層次分明,釉面光滑,開片細密自然(若有),歷經時光仍保持較好品相。

【收藏與陳設價值】

青花釉里紅為明清時期皇家與文人推崇的名貴品種,因燒製難度高,存世量稀少,向來是收藏市場的熱門。本品題材經典,工藝精湛,既可作為古董陶瓷收藏,增補東方陶瓷體系;亦可陳設於書房、客廳,為空間增添古典雅韻,展現東方文化底蘊。

【保養建議】

  • 避免劇烈碰撞或震動,防止瓷體開片擴大或損傷。
  • 清潔時用軟質乾布輕輕擦拭,避免使用化學清潔劑。
  • 陳設時遠離陽光直射及高溫環境,保持乾燥通風。
備註:本品為古董藏品,細部紋飾、尺寸及具體年代請以實物為準,建議專業鑒定後收藏。
