Chinese Ming Dynasty Period, JiaJing wucai figurine hexagonal jar. Potted with a large cylinder vessel, jar shape, having thick and tall potted body, sturdily potted in hexagonal ovoid belly, heavy on shoulder gently tapered on short neck, toward opening mouth prominent, with slight flaring opening lip, and raised on flat wide round foot base. The exterior hand painted ornamentations are rendered in clean white under glazed base color which contrast against wucai design, WuCai or five-color shades and tones, brightly painted around the exterior, between the filling motif decorated in colorful vivid sgrafitto ground of uptala, depicted of some animal Chinese art in floral flori rim medallion in every each hexagonal part. The colors are harmonious, balanced, elegant and exquisite, the composition is sophisticated, simply a feast for the eye. The porcelain displays a subtle sheen as the light ricochets across the finely glazed exterior.
The underside unglazed, revealed the pale-creme ground revealed and dark grayish brown spotted firing marks and edge-cut foot rim.
