14th century Chinese Ming (Hongwu) blue / white porcelain vase.

Description: This fine porcelain was produced during the reign of the Emperor Hongwu (1368 - 1398 AD). It would have been made around the year 1390. The Emperor Hongwu was responsible for founding the Ming dynasty. Porcelain pieces made at the time were generally based on the designs of the previous Yuan (1279-1368 AD) dynasty. This Mongolian dynasty produced many porcelain pieces with figural decoration portraying religious figures and characters from historical events. This decorative style continued into the early Ming dynasty. This vase, like many Yuan examples, is based on a archaic bronze form with animal head mounts. Unlike earlier (circa 1350 AD) examples, this piece uses native Chinese cobalt to create the painted soft blue effects. Yuan porcelain was decorated with imported central Asian cobalt that imparted a very deep color. This darker cobalt would not be available again until the end of the reign of the future emperor Yongle (1403-1424 AD). The decorative panels on the bottom of this piece differ from earlier Yuan examples. These panels frame a scroll work that is finely painted in a more intricate manner. Furthermore, the manner in which the unglazed foot has been trimmed is unlike previous Yuan examples. The base has developed a typical patinated surface. The visible cracks on the shoulder of this piece occurred during it's manufacture. They are the results of two components being joined together to make one vessel. The resulting seam became apparent after firing in the kiln. The vase has survived in good condition. H - 8 3/4"
