English Translation of Porcelain Description

Moon Vase (Saddle Flask)

The moon vase, also known as the saddle flask, evolved from flat metal flasks originating in the Arabic regions of Western Asia during the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty, and was finalized as a standard official kiln porcelain form in the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty. Its iconic design features symmetric appliqued chilong dragon ears moulded onto the neck: a tiny mouth, straight constricted neck, full moon-shaped flattened belly and square ring foot. The coiled, agile chilong dragons with distinct heads and tails are affixed to the juncture of neck and shoulder. Serving as both decorative furnishings and ritual wares, most examples crafted at imperial official kilns were reserved for palace display.

Painted scenes derive from vernacular storybooks and zaju operas of the Yuan Dynasty, illustrating a historical anecdote from the Warring States Period: amid warfare between the State of Qi and Yan, military strategist Sun Bin was trapped in Yan. At the request of Su Dai, an envoy from Qi, Sun Bin’s mentor Guiguzi descended from the mountains aboard a chariot drawn by a tiger and a leopard to rescue his disciple.

Standard Pictorial Motifs

Core patterned elements include Guiguzi riding the beast-drawn chariot, spear-wielding foot soldiers leading the procession, a young standard-bearer holding a battle flag inscribed with the Chinese character "Guigu", mounted envoy Su Dai, alongside scenic backdrops of pine trees, rock formations and auspicious cloud scrolls. This ranks among the finest narrative figure themes of Yuan blue-and-white porcelain.

Body & Glaze Specifications

Porcelain Body: Compound dual-component paste blended from china stone and kaolin clay, dense and sturdy in texture; exposed base foot bears natural rust-red firing blush (huoshihong).

Underglaze Blue Pigment: Imported Smalt (Sumali blue cobalt). The pigment renders rich, deep vibrant blue with naturally formed sunken iron-rust speckles across the glaze and subtle edge bleeding in localized areas.

Imperial official-kiln moon vases with chilong ears depicting the Guiguzi rescue scene are extremely scarce among extant worldwide antique porcelain specimens.
