Chinese Ming Dynasty Period, blue and white dragon meiping porcelain jar. The porcelain shaped into a traditional Meiping form, large, thick and tall potted, wide body on the shoulder. Slender neck easing to form narrow opening, with emerging slight flaring ring mouth rim, raised on round foot base, with slight concave. The main body decorated with many snarling imperial five claws dragon careening through cumulus clouds above thrashing Li-shui waves in a dark blue color dragon squama to chasing flaming pearl amidst flames and vapors. The underside unglazed, revealed the pale-creme ground revealed and dark grayish brown spotted firing marks and edge-cut foot rim. The clay is very fine, with a brilliant glaze finish that was applied by a meticulous, the shape is uniformly proportioned.
Over all in EXCELLENT condition.
