A Wucai porcelain jar decorated with phoenixes among flowers, with iron red, green, and yellow enamels. China, Transition period (1630-1683).
Height 32 cm; diameter 22 cm
The "Wucai" (five-color) porcelain jar has an ovoid shape decorated with phoenixes among flowers. The phoenix represents virtue and imperial grace, while the red and orange peonies symbolize wealth and prosperity. The "full-surface" decoration with fresh colors, the bright palette, and the lively, "free" strokes are typical of the Transition Period.
