Grand vase couvert
Description
Porcelaine Oxyde de cobalt appliqué sous couverte transparente ; Cette importante jarre à vin a conservé son couvercle et présente une forme courante : un pied étroit, une épaule généreuse et un col évasé. A l’origine, il s’agissait probablement d’une paire. Sur la panse et l’épaule se déploient deux dragons affrontés poursuivant la perle sacrée (baozhu) parmi les nuages, au-dessus de flots écumants. Cette iconographie traditionnelle se formalise au début de la dynastie Ming (1368-1644) et illustre la légende chinoise selon laquelle les dragons émergeraient du fond des mers au printemps et monteraient dans les cieux pour apporter les pluies bénéfiques de la saison.
