Ming Dynasty Yongle Emperor (1403–1424) official kiln porcelain charger.
This Blue and White Barbed ‘Grape’ Plate exemplifies the elegance and innovation of the Yongle imperial kilns, renowned for their clarity of glaze and balanced symmetry. The design features grape vines with entwined leaves and clusters of fruit, symbolizing abundance, prosperity, and generational continuity.
Painted in rich underglazed cobalt blue, each stroke demonstrates the refined brushwork and technical mastery achieved during the Yongle reign—an era that established the Ming dynasty’s reputation for luminous white porcelain and pure blue tones. Each charger is handcrafted using traditional imperial kiln methods, painted with natural mineral pigments, and fired up to 1280 °C in kiln to be finished products, keeping forever like a diamond.
This masterpiece represents the fusion of Chinese symbolic design and early Western cobalt sources, uniting artistic serenity with imperial grandeur.

About the Item
Description
The dish is superbly painted on the interior in rich cobalt-blue tones with three bunches of grapes borne from a gnarled vine issuing broad furled leaves detailed with veining and delicately coiling tendrils, the cavetto subtly lobed in twelve panels and depicting rose, chrysanthemum, lotus, mallow, camellia and peony, alternating with leafy lingzhi sprigs, the barbed rim encircled by band of a blackberry-lily scroll. In feng shui, grapes symbolize the abundance of food, meaning an abundance of material wealth Grapes came to represent success and abundance coming to one in the near future, or always being in one's family. Thus it is common to see displays of grapes in Chinese homes.
