Ming dynasty blue and white porcelain Yu Hu Chun Vase

This is a Ming Dynasty «Yu Hu Chun» Vase. The vase has flared mouth rim, thin neck, plump belly, and foot ring. Vases of the type were named after a wine called Yuhuchun since they were frequently used as wine containers during the Song and Yuan dynasties (10th century- 14th century). In the Ming and Qing time, they gradually lost their practical function and were used for display. The cobalt blue interlocking yellow hollyhock is natural skilled, its tune of blue and white is imposing and of classic elegance, magnificent and vivid too. Its texture is cobalt named Su Ni Bo Qing which is mixed of blue and grey. From the skill and tone of color you can judge that it is an artwork in the Ming Dyansty Xuande period.
