Ming Dynasty Jiajing Emperor (1522–1566) official kiln porcelain jar.
This Blue and White Iron-Red ‘Fish’ Lidded Jar represents one of the most celebrated motifs of the Jiajing imperial kilns, blending vivid cobalt blue with striking iron-red enamel. The fish — an ancient symbol of abundance, wealth, and perseverance — is depicted swimming freely among waves and aquatic plants, reflecting the Ming belief in prosperity through harmony with nature.
Each piece is handcrafted using authentic imperial techniques, painted with natural cobalt and iron-oxide pigments, and fired up to 1280 °C in kiln to be finished products, keeping forever like a diamond. Under Jiajing’s reign, porcelain masters refined underglaze blue and overglaze iron-red techniques, creating vibrant color contrast and spiritual depth that defined mid-Ming artistry.
This lidded jar embodies the imperial aesthetic of balance, vitality, and auspicious symbolism, representing the enduring brilliance of Ming porcelain craftsmanship.
