This porcelain piece from the Qing dynasty is a remarkable artifact featuring red-painted fish motifs and bearing the mark "Da Qing Kangxi Nian Zhi" (Made in the Kangxi Era of the Great Qing). The exterior is adorned with swimming fish, delicately rendered in vibrant red. The fish, a symbol of abundance and prosperity in Chinese culture, adds both artistic and cultural value to the piece, making it not only a utilitarian vessel but also an exquisite work of art.
The shape of the vessel, with its low body and wide rim, is well-balanced, combining practicality with aesthetic appeal. The interior is finished with a soft celadon glaze, evoking a sense of elegance and serenity. The base features the underglaze blue inscription "Da Qing Kangxi Nian Zhi," confirming that this piece was created during the Kangxi period (1661–1722). Porcelains from this era are renowned for their exceptional quality, especially those crafted for imperial or high-status use, distinguished by their meticulous decoration and superior craftsmanship.
The condition of this piece is outstanding, with no significant chips or cracks visible on the rim or base. The glaze remains vivid, and the red-painted designs have been preserved beautifully, retaining their historical integrity. This piece embodies the artistic and cultural essence of Qing dynasty porcelain, making it a highly desirable item for collectors and art enthusiasts alike. Its unique design and symbolic motifs also make it a striking decorative item, capturing the timeless beauty and masterful craftsmanship of Qing-era artisans.
