Schätzwert

YONGLE PERIOD (1403-1425)
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 bulb-shaped mouth. The widest part of the upper bulb is painted with a band of composite floral scroll, above the lower section painted on each side with an eight-pointed arabesque centred by a yinyang symbol encircled by petals, bordered by a 'half cash' band around the edge. The flask stands on an oval foot flanked by a pair of strap handles on either side joining the neck and shoulders of the vessel, with petal-shaped terminals on the shoulders. All in brilliant tones of blue with heaping and piling.
