Blue-and-white Beaker Vase with Dragon and Phoenix Designs
Date: undated
Date: undated
The beaker vase is derived from a wine container used in ancient times. It might be used with the jue cup, as they were frequently excavated as paired sets from tombs at Anyang, capital of the late Shang dynasty (1600-1028 BCE). This is a porcelain imitation of the bronze beaker vase typical of the Shang and Zhou dynasties (1027-256 BCE). For display only, it is decorated with the auspicious design of dragons, phoenixes and clouds. A six-character reign mark reading “Made in the Wanli reign of the great Ming” (Da Ming Wanli nian zhi) is inscribed on the base.
