A magnificent and rare Imperial blue and copper-
red turquoise-glazed ‘dragon’ moonflask, bianhu
Qianlong seal mark and of the period
The rounded flattened body vividly painted in a brilliant underglaze
copper-red on each side with an Imperial front-facing five-clawed
dragon encircling a flaming pearl, each surrounded by finely scrolling
clouds painted in underglaze blue and above heaped waves releasing
splashes of foam at the feet of each dragon, the slender cylindrical
neck with a cloud scroll on each side and flanked by delicately
curving handles painted with a band of classic scroll between two
fine lines of underglaze blue, the body, foot and neck all covered in
an unusual bright even-toned turquoise glaze precisely stopping at
the outline of the underglaze painted decoration, the rim, the interior
of the neck and the underside enamelled a soft lime-green.
