Underglaze-red lotus scrolls turn in broad loops around the full lower body, then narrow into ordered borders that carry the composition up the long neck and flared mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe silhouette is a Shangping, often translated as a \"reward vase.\" The Palace Museum traces the form to the Yongzheng reign, when examples decorated with lotus scrolls were presented to officials as an encouragement toward honest service. This contemporary Jingdezhen interpretation joins that history of honorable recognition to the denser symmetry associated with Qianlong-style decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCopper-red pigment is painted beneath the clear glaze and must retain its color through high firing. Against the white porcelain ground, that technically demanding red gives the historical form a warmer and less familiar presence than blue-and-white versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 33 cm \/ 13.0 in high, the long neck gives the vase a clear vertical role on a console or in a display cabinet. The blue reign mark is decorative. A fitted dark wooden stand and presentation box complete the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #eaeaea; margin: 32px 0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial: Jingdezhen porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrigin: Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForm: Shangping, or reward vase\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDecoration: Underglaze-red lotus scrolls with geometric and floral borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesign reference: Qianlong-style lotus-scroll composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBase mark: Decorative Qianlong-style reign mark\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeight: 33 cm \/ 13.0 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody diameter: 21 cm \/ 8.3 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMouth diameter: 12 cm \/ 4.7 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBase diameter: 11 cm \/ 4.3 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded: Porcelain vase, fitted wooden stand, and presentation box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCare: Dust with a soft, dry cloth; wipe gently with a lightly damp cloth when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Azure Blanc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51788451971383,"sku":"AB-VAS-51971383","price":248.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/2663\/5063\/files\/jingdezhen-qianlong-style-underglaze-red-shangping-vase.webp?v=1785416488","url":"https:\/\/www.azureblanc.com\/products\/jingdezhen-qianlong-style-underglaze-red-shangping-vase","provider":"Azure Blanc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
