Vase
Qianlong period, 1735–1796
Porcelain
A blue and white porcelain vase with intricate scrolling patterns and a dragon motif is shown against a neutral background. The vase features cut-out lattice work on its sides. This striking porcelain vase features an intricate lattice design known as reticulation, a technique that requires extraordinary precision and skill. The geometric openwork panels contrast beautifully with the dense underglaze blue floral patterns that cover the surface. A sculpted white dragon coils around the neck, symbolizing strength and power in Chinese culture. The combination of fine blue decoration, delicate pierced work, and applied sculpture showcases the technical mastery and artistic elegance achieved by Chinese ceramicists during the Qing dynasty’s height.
