Jarrón decorado con un dragón

early 15th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 202
La aplicación de pigmento azul cobalto a una superficie de porcelana, técnica que surge en China por primera vez en el siglo XIV, es el avance más importante en la historia mundial de la cerámica. Este espectacular jarrón de porcelana de Jingdezhen, producido para la corte imperial, tiene una inscripción cerca del cuello que permite atribuirlo al reinado del emperador Xuande. Un poderoso dragón ondulante atraviesa un cielo definido por nubes. Las insólitas caras de monstruos tal vez se deriven de la kirtimukha (cara de gloria) que aparece con frecuencia en la iconografía indo–himalaya y que era popular en China a principios del siglo XV.
