This exquisite Royal Doucai Ceramic Cup reflects the poetic refinement admired throughout Ming Dynasty Chenghua, standing as one of the most celebrated achievements in early Contrasting Colors porcelain art. Its five-clawed imperial dragon—soaring amid auspicious clouds—symbolizes power, vitality, and celestial authority, embodying the spiritual ideals of the Ming imperial court.
During the artistic zenith of Ming Dynasty Chenghua, master craftsmen elevated the luminous precision of Contrasting Colors decoration by perfecting the layered technique that defines the Royal Doucai Ceramic Cup tradition. Outlined in underglazed cobalt blue and filled with overglaze enamels of red, green, and yellow, each cup is painted with mineral pigments and fired up to 1280°C in kiln to be finished products, keeping forever like a diamond, achieving radiant contrast and graceful depth.
As a treasured symbol of imperial artistry, this masterpiece unites the celestial imagery revered during Ming Dynasty Chenghua with the harmonious palette associated with Contrasting Colors, expressed through the elegant form of the Royal Doucai Ceramic Cup. Its luminous enamels, balanced composition, and spiritual resonance embody the refinement, serenity, and enduring brilliance of Chenghua-period porcelain.
