Description
Looking back at the "large jar with cloud and dragon pattern" sold by Christie's, although it has achieved a transaction figure of 100 million yuan, it still has "a fly in the ointment" in the eyes of many people in the industry. Because long before the auction, this "large jar with cloud and dragon pattern" about 48.5 cm high had attracted much attention. According to Lian Wynn, an expert in the Chinese porcelain and handicrafts department at Christie's, "From the perspective of shape, volume, decoration, and completeness, this piece of porcelain is the best porcelain that has appeared at auction in the past 20 years. Among the Xuande blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty handed down from generation to generation, only three pieces of similar shapes have been found. The Metropolitan Museum of New York and the Idemitsu Museum of Art in Tokyo each have one with very similar decoration. It is a Xuande style large jar with a cloud dragon pattern, but the decorations on it are all three-clawed cloud dragons facing forward. The large jar with a five-clawed cloud dragon pattern that looks back is still unique. "It is understood that the Xuande style large jar with cloud dragon pattern at the Idemitsu Museum in Tokyo was auctioned for 720,000 pounds in 1981, and the chicken jar cup was auctioned for 5.28 million Hong Kong dollars that year. Theoretically, the five-clawed cloud-dragon-patterned large jar in this auction should be more rare, but the transaction price is far lower than that of the chicken vat cup. Among them, what deserves attention is that Xuande blue and white porcelain has led the art trend with prices of 299.9 million, 28.75 million, 20.7 million, and 15.78 million yuan over the years, shocking the industry.
