Jingtai incised six-character mark and of the period
Finely cast of elegant pear-shape rising from a stepped gilt-bronze foot incised with classic lotus scroll to a tall narrow neck surmounting the bulbous body terminating with a gilt-bronze galleried mouth rim, the body exquisitely enamelled with meandering lotus scrolls with large blooms in red, white, yellow, and blue enamels, applied with a crisply cast archaistic chilong coiling around the body and neck with jaws agape and single curved horn extending down the sinewy body with long flowing mane, notched spine and bifurcated, foliate tail.
15.2cm (6in) high.

The present vase is an exceptionally rare example of early Ming cloisonné enamel, with an incised six-character Jingtai mark and exhibiting a number of features traditionally associated with the finest cloisonné enamels of the mid-fifteenth century. The elegant pear-shaped body is richly decorated with scrolling lotus blossoms reserved against a luminous turquoise-blue ground, while a finely cast gilt-bronze ascends the shoulder and neck. The harmonious integration of cloisonné enamel and gilt-bronze mounts reflects the sophisticated craftsmanship achieved by the Imperial workshops during one of the most important phases in the development of Chinese cloisonné enamels.
Particularly noteworthy is the restrained enamel palette, dominated by shades of blue, white, red, yellow and green, characteristic of early Ming cloisonné production. The cloisons are relatively broad and confidently executed, creating a vigorous decorative effect associated with fifteenth-century works. Equally significant are the substantial gilt-bronze mounts, including the engraved collar and foot rim, whose robust construction and rich gilding compare favourably with other early Ming Imperial cloisonné vessels preserved in museum collections. The engraved lotus-scroll decoration on the foot and neck collars may be compared with that on a cloisonné-enamel incense burner of the early Ming dynasty in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in , Beijing, 2011, pp.110-111, no.39.
The sculptural further supports an early date. Powerfully modelled and cast in the round, it possesses the dynamism associated with early Ming decorative arts. The creature's elongated body, flowing mane and bifurcated tail are integrated seamlessly into the form of the vessel. Such elaborate gilt-bronze embellishments are found on a small group of highly important Imperial cloisonné vessels traditionally attributed to the early Ming period. Compare, for example, a closely related cloisonné enamel vase with gilt-bronze handles and an incised Jingtai mark, early Ming dynasty, in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in ., pp.82-83, no.18.
The present vase may also be compared with a related cloisonné enamel and gilt-bronze bottle vase, mid-Ming dynasty, in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in , Beijing, 2011, pp.146–147, no.63. The treatment of the gilt-bronze likewise recalls that on another cloisonné enamel vase, mid-Ming dynasty, in the same collection, illustrated ., no.69. Taken together, the robust gilt-bronze mounts, broad cloisons, restrained enamel palette and powerful sculptural treatment, make the present vase a rare surviving example of Jingtai mark and period cloisonné.

此瓶乃明初掐絲琺瑯中極為珍罕之例，器底陰刻「大明景泰年製」六字楷款，且兼具十五世紀中期宮廷琺瑯器之典型特徵。器身作梨形，藍地滿飾纏枝蓮紋，有一銅鎏金螭龍攀附肩頸間，可謂掐絲琺瑯與銅鎏金工藝之完美結合，充分展現明初宮廷作坊於琺瑯工藝發展關鍵時期所達致之精湛技藝。
整器色彩清雅，以藍、白、紅、黃、綠為主調，正合明初掐絲琺瑯特色。掐絲線條有力，質地細膩，釉面光亮，紋飾佈局疏朗，氣勢雄渾，為十五世紀典型風格。銅鎏金部分富麗堂皇，口沿與圈足皆刻蓮紋作飾，用料大方，金彩燦然，類似工藝可參考北京故宮博物院所藏一件明早期掐絲琺瑯葡萄紋沖耳爐，見《故宮博物院藏品大系：琺瑯器編1：元明掐絲琺瑯》，北京，2011年，頁110至111，編號39。瓶上之螭龍裝飾亦印證其年代之早。此龍體態雄健，氣勢磅礴，符合明初藝術風格與工藝水平。龍身修長，鬃毛飄逸，尾部分叉，與瓶身輪廓完美融合，其精湛之工藝水準實非後期琺瑯器所能及。此類工序繁複之銅鎏金裝飾僅見於少數明初宮廷重器，如清宮舊藏一件景泰款掐絲琺瑯開光花卉紋螭耳瓶，所飾之螭龍與本品風格相近，見同書，頁82至83，編號18。另比較北京故宮博物院所藏一件明中期掐絲琺瑯纏枝蓮紋蒜頭瓶，見同書，頁146至147，編號63；其鎏金螭龍的設計亦與編號69之明中期掐絲琺瑯雲龍紋螭耳瓶相類，可作比對。綜觀此瓶，其鎏金銅飾厚重、掐絲寬闊、釉色沉穩、雕塑感強烈，諸般特徵兼備，實為景泰款掐絲琺瑯中難得之傳世佳器。
