AN IMPORTANT AND RARE BLUE AND WHITE MOONFLASK, BIANPING
XUANDE SIX-CHARACTER MARK IN A LINE AND OF THE PERIOD (1426-1435)
AN IMPORTANT AND RARE BLUE AND WHITE MOONFLASK, BIANPING XUANDE SIX-CHARACTER MARK IN A LINE AND OF THE PERIOD (1426-1435) The elegant flask is well potted with a flattened, but slightly domed, circular lower section and a globular upper section narrowing to a short neck and a mouth contracting to match the width of the waisted area between the upper and lower sections of the vessel. The flask stands on a rectangular foot and has strap handles on either side, joining the neck and shoulders of the vessel, with petal-shaped terminals on the shoulders. The six-character mark is written between two sets of double lines below the mouth rim. Around the upper bulb is a mixed floral scroll, including dianthus, which entered the Chinese decorative repertoire from the Near East. Both of the circular flattened sides are bordered by 'half cash' bands, surrounding a different arabesque roundel on each side. At the centre of the arabesque roundel on one side is a yinyang symbol surrounded by petals, while on the other side at the centre is a small roundel containing alternately sized inward-pointing petals inside a triple-line circle. Each of the handle terminals is decorated with a floral spray. 9 5/8 in. (24.5 cm.) high
