The form keeps the softened pear-shaped body, narrow neck, and gently flared mouth associated with the Yuhuchun silhouette, giving the painted decoration a clear vertical rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe porcelain body is made in Jingdezhen from porcelain stone and kaolin. The cobalt decoration is painted by hand, covered with a clear glaze, and high-fired at approx. 1300°C. After firing, the blue sits beneath the glaze, with darker cobalt gathering along branches, leaves, and fine outlines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main decoration follows the Chinese Three Friends of Winter theme: pine, bamboo, and plum. Pine branches give the composition structure, while bamboo leaves and plum blossoms move across the white porcelain ground. A banana-leaf band circles the neck, with scrolling lotus detail below it and a lotus-petal border near the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 26 cm tall, the vase is made for close viewing rather than grand architectural display. It belongs naturally on a tea table, writing desk, cabinet, sideboard, or study shelf, where the curve of the body and the brushwork can be seen at close range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Porcelain stone and kaolin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Jingdezhen, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCraft: Hand-painted blue-and-white porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Yuhuchun vase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotifs: Pine, bamboo, plum blossom, banana leaf, scrolling lotus, lotus-petal border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiring: High-fired at approx. 1300°C \/ 2372°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 26 cm \/ 10.2 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouth diameter: 8 cm \/ 3.1 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelly diameter: 17 cm \/ 6.7 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase diameter: 10.3 cm \/ 4.1 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase mark: Decorative Xuande-style reign mark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeritage note: Contemporary Jingdezhen work in a Ming Xuande-style blue-and-white vocabulary; not presented as an antique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Dust with a soft microfiber cloth.
