Height 5 1/2 in., 14 cm.

Scattered surface abrasions and wear, firing cracks to the interior, a long hairline to rim, and a few minor chips to footring, no additional damage found under UV light.

Covered in a brown glaze and decorated in "pâte-sur-pâte" technique with white-slip motifs of flying cranes amidst swirling clouds.
Note:
The Jiajing Emperor assumed an elaborate sequence of Daoist titles—among them "Lingxiao Shangqing Tonglei Yuanyang Miaoyi Feixuan Zhenjun"—and, in the wake of the "Renyin Palace Incident" of 1542, retreated permanently to the Western Park. There, he immersed himself in Daoist cultivation and abandoned court audiences for more than twenty years, driven by an unwavering quest for immortality. He also commissioned the Daoist priest Shao Yuanjie to conduct crane-summoning rituals, believing their success would manifest his supernatural legitimacy. During the Jiajing period, porcelain decorated with cranes became a visual instrument of imperial Daoist devotion. A notable example is a blue-and-white gourd-shaped vase with crane motifs in the Philadelphia Museum of Art (accession no. 1882-727).
註：
“练得身形似鹤形，千株松下两函经”。嘉靖帝在壬寅宮變（1542年）後移居西苑、潛心修玄，二十餘載不上朝。他曾命道士邵元節設壇招鶴，篤信可證其神聖天命。是以嘉靖朝鶴紋瓷器可視作帝王崇道的視覺象徵。參見費城藝術博物館所藏青花鶴紋葫蘆瓶（編號1882-727）。
