Övrig information
It is interesting to parallel the beautiful dark blue ground on the vase with the fahua, 15th century Meiping vases. The large petaled flowers are also a reminiscent of flowers that can be found on the fahua ceramics around 1500. Fahua ceramics share technical parallels with cloisonné enamels, as both media feature enclosures filled in with a coloured glaze or enamel.
