Description: A Chinese Ming Dynasty Style Blue-and-white Porcelain Ground Vase 中国明朝崇祯年风格青花人物葫芦瓶（待考） H385 D180mm The vase is shaped well in the form of gourds rising from the body to the neck, overall in blue and white glaze suffused with designs. One group of the character conveys stories and depicted in different poses, and the excellent flower designs and landscapes go well with roles. The other group is decorated with a cloudy pattern. This vase body is thick and smooth and beautiful glazed. The gourd pronunciation in Chinese is “Fu Lu” the same as fortune and wealth. This bottle is typical in the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period. Both the shape and the depiction of the characters in a blue-and-white glaze made it a rare porcelain art treasure. 此青花人物葫芦瓶呈中口，束腰，双球形腹，圈足。形体秀美，上下比例协调，线条自然流畅，青花发色淡雅。其中一面纹饰绘以人物故事，人物描绘姿态各异，神完气足，花卉风景点缀人物之间，充满立体感和故事情节性。另一面绘以云纹仙境，颇有意境。 此瓶胎质坚密，釉色温润，青花色泽浓艳，凝聚不散，线条流畅，且“葫芦瓶”与“福禄”谐音，寓意大吉大利，此瓶无论从形制还是青花人物的描绘都是明朝崇祯年时期典型的器物，亦是不可多得瓷艺珍品。
