Jingdezhen Qianlong-Style Underglaze Red Yuhuchun Vase

The Yuhuchun form is built on one continuous curve. Its pear-shaped body swells low, narrows through a slender neck, and opens at the rim. Red lotus scrolls follow that curve, carrying the eye upward instead of enclosing it around a central mass.

The pairing has a long precedent in Chinese porcelain. The Palace Museum preserves a Ming Hongwu underglaze-red lotus-scroll Yuhuchun vase and identifies the form by its flared mouth, slender neck, full belly, and ring foot. The museum also notes the form's transition from a wine vessel in the Song and Yuan periods to display porcelain in the Ming and Qing.

Underglaze red uses a copper-bearing pigment beneath the glaze, with high firing and kiln atmosphere determining how the red emerges. This contemporary Jingdezhen vase brings that demanding palette into a Qianlong-style decorative scheme, while the lotus carries its enduring wish for purity and renewal. A decorative reign mark completes the period reference at the base.

At 32 cm / 12.6 in high, the vase has a balanced profile for a cabinet, console, or entryway. A fitted dark wooden stand and presentation box complete the display, making the piece equally considered for personal collecting or a significant new-home gift.
