A large hand painted dragon plate, in perfect state. The Kangxi styled underglaze-blue and copper-red ('Qinghua Youlihong') 'Cloud Dragon Chasing the Flaming Pearl' plate is a Qing Dynasty imperial styled piece. It showcases the difficult combined firing of brilliant cobalt blue and vivid copper red—a technical triumph of the Kangxi era. Centered with a powerful five-clawed dragon pursuing a flaming pearl amid clouds, the design symbolizes imperial authority and auspicious power. Featuring robust form, luminous glaze, and precise reign mark, it represents the peak of Jingdezhen's artistry and the era's confident aesthetic.
