This Blue and White ‘Four Favorites’ creation stands as an exquisite Blue and White Porcelain Vase, expressing the narrative elegance and poetic depth cultivated under the Yuan Dynasty court. Its depiction of the revered Meiping silhouette highlights themes of scholarly refinement through the symbols of qin, qi, shu, and hua — music, strategy, literature, and painting.
Painted in deep underglazed cobalt, the motifs reveal the vigorous stroke work characteristic of early Yuan Dynasty artisans. Entirely handcrafted using imperial kiln techniques, adorned with natural mineral pigments, and fired up to 1280°C in kiln to be finished products, keeping forever like a diamond, the piece stands as a dignified representation of the Meiping tradition and an early pinnacle of the Blue and White Porcelain Vase aesthetic.
A masterpiece of cultural synthesis, this work reflects how the Yuan Dynasty fused literati symbolism with imported Western-Asian cobalt pigment sources. The refined contours of the Meiping, paired with the luminous narrative painting, helped usher in the golden age of the Blue and White Porcelain Vase tradition that shaped Ming and Qing imperial porcelain for centuries.

About the Item
Description
The Four Favorites Vase with underglaze cobalt blue phoenix and floral decoration decoration over four cartouche shaped panels of officials.
Among the most popular subjects in Yuan decorative arts are historical figures (poets, philosophers, artists) with their favorite flowers or pets (usually birds). On this bottle are representations of the philosopher Zhou Dunyi, with a lotus; the recluse poet Lin Bu, with a crane; the poet Meng Haoran, with a prunus; and the calligrapher Wang Xizhi, with an orchid. A number of porcelain and silver bottles of the same period were decorated with this schema, with either the same or a variant set of figures.
