AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautifully decorated Chinese porcelain goblet-vases in wucai style, in the classic gu form, the elegant trumpet-shaped neck that rises above a slim body and a flared foot, a hallmark of Chinese ceramics since the Ming dynasty.
The decoration:
The body is painted in the wucai tradition ("five colors") — underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze enamel in iron red, emerald green, yellow and black — a palette and technique perfected during the Wanli period (1572-1620) and since lauded.
On the upper neck is painted the six-character mark in underglaze blue. Such marks are often found on later wares as a tribute to the original pieces from the Great Ming dynasty, and not as a literal dating.
The main section shows a naturalistic scene with bamboo groves, birds in flight, and scattered garden flowers.
There is a gray tint visible on the vases. This sits under the glaze.
