Meisterwerk: [Joseon-Weiße Porzellan-Blau- und Weiße Baum- und Vogelmuster-Topf] Koreanische Untergrundblau

This is a Joseon Dynasty white porcelain blue and white jar with tree and bird motifs. The mouth of the jar is slightly elevated, with a strong shoulder tension at the upper belly and a rapid contraction at the lower belly, giving the jar a compact shape. The upper and lower parts of the high mouth are each adorned with two decorative lines, and the base of the neck is encircled with lingzhi patterns. The bottom of the jar's body is surrounded by two decorative bands, from which plum trees and bamboo rise. The depiction of the plum tree employs variations in shading, rendering it exquisite and full of charm. A chirping bird is depicted on the plum tree, with two birds soaring with outstretched wings in the air in front. The slightly bluish glaze is thick, and the blue and white (cobalt blue) coloration has a slightly black hue.
Dimensions of the piece: Height 38.2 cm, mouth diameter 16.7 cm, belly diameter 33 cm, foot diameter 15 cm, weight 5.3 kg, accompanied by a box. In good condition.
