Hongwu Ink-Color Floral Plum Vase

This is a Hongwu-period ink-color hand-painted floral plum vase. It has a small mouth, short neck, rounded shoulders, a tapering body, and a flared foot, forming a dignified, full-bodied silhouette. Scrolling foliage, flowers, and border motifs are painted in ink across the surface, with additional textual decoration on the shoulder; the strong black-and-white contrast is complemented by dense brushwork. Local wear and uneven coloration are visible on the surface, while the layered decoration lends the vase a rich ornamental character. Dimensions approximately 35x18 cm
