The Mandarin Duck Pattern Bowl of Doucai Lotus Pond is a collection of antique art full of poetry and romantic feelings. It is not only a vessel used for daily eating, but also a delicate painted work of art, showing the outstanding achievements of porcelain production during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.
With a height of 9 cm and a diameter of 21 cm, this bowl has a regular shape, smooth lines and moderate volume, which is both easy to use and easy to watch. The bowl body is made of high-quality porcelain clay material, and after a fine firing process, the surface presents a warm and jade-like luster and delicate texture. This porcelain not only ensures the durability of the bowl, but also provides a good carrier for the bucket color decoration on it.
Doucai is the main decorative technique of this bowl, and it is also one of the most exquisite and unique crafts in the production of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. The so-called doucai refers to the use of a variety of colors on the same porcelain to decorate, and through the ingenious combination of underglaze blue and white and overglaze color, a colorful and layered artistic effect is formed. On this lotus pond mandarin duck pattern bowl, the doucai process has been brought into full play. The outer wall of the bowl is painted with blue and white flowers as the base, and the pattern of the lotus pond is painted, in which the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the lotus leaves are stretched, and the water is rippling, and a vivid pond scenery jumps out. On the basis of blue and white, red, green, yellow and other colors are applied, and the whole picture is more colorful and three-dimensional vivid through the embellishment and rendering of overglaze color.
The mandarin duck pattern in the lotus pond is another highlight of the bowl. The mandarin duck is one of the mascots in traditional Chinese culture, symbolizing loyal love and a happy life. On this bowl, a pair of mandarin ducks frolic and forage in a lotus pond, with a realistic and lifelike form. The feathers of the mandarin ducks are outlined in fine lines, and the colors are bright and bright, which contrast with the surrounding lotus flowers and lotus leaves, forming a poetic picture.
In addition to its artistic value, the Doucai Lotus Pond Mandarin Duck Pattern Bowl also has a high historical value. The bottom of the bowl is engraved with the bottom of the "Ming Chenghua Year", which is an important basis for identifying its age and production background.
