This exceptional Doucai Contrasted Colors Moon Flask from the Qing Dynasty Qianlong Emperor (1736–1795) official kilns exemplifies the majestic artistry of imperial porcelain at its peak. Formed in the classic Moonflask (Bianhu) silhouette, it showcases the celebrated doucai technique, where underglazed cobalt blue outlines—rooted in the tradition of blue and white porcelain—are filled with vibrant overglaze enamels. The five-clawed imperial dragon soaring through auspicious clouds reflects power, protection, and the celestial authority reserved for the emperor himself.
Handcrafted by master artisans using authentic royal techniques, each Doucai Contrasted Colors Moon Flask is shaped from premium porcelain clay, painted with natural mineral pigments, and elevated through the delicate balance of underglaze blue and overglaze colors characteristic of both doucai art and classical blue and white porcelain traditions. Expertly fired up to 1280°C in kiln to be finished products, keeping forever like a diamond, the vase achieves enduring brilliance, structural excellence, and heirloom-grade refinement celebrated in the finest imperial works of the Qing Dynasty.
Perfect for luxury homes, grand hotels, curated galleries, and refined cultural interiors, this masterpiece embodies the perfect harmony of form, color, and imperial symbolism. As a distinguished example of the Doucai Contrasted Colors Moon Flask tradition and the decorative sophistication of blue and white porcelain, it reflects the Qianlong court’s pursuit of artistic perfection and ceremonial grandeur.
