Important Chinese Blue and White Underglazed Red Enamel Dragon Porcelain Vase

Fine Chinese Ming Chenghua Style. Important Chinese Blue and White Underglazed Red Enamel Dragon Porcelain Vase. Here is an outstanding Chinese blue and white globular porcelain vase. It has a truly one of the best underglazed iron red dragon. The combination of blue white and underglazed iron red color is among the most difficult technique of ceramic making.

Because of the huge difference of the firing temperatures of both colors, most underglazed iron red painting would be melted together and lose its strokes and shapes. Take a look at our close up pictures of the dragon of this vase, every stroke is clear.
