Bowl with two dragons chasing a flaming pearl
This bowl is incised with two five-clawed dragons, shown in profile with clenched jaws, chasing flaming pearls and each other amid auspicious ruyi clouds. The base has a four-character inscription reading 清華珍品 (Qinghua zhenping ‘clear and beautiful precious object’) in underglaze cobalt-blue on the base. The inside and base is covered with a transparent glaze. It was given a second lower temperature firing after potters picked out the dragon and cloud design in green glaze on a ground of yellow. Potters working at Jingdezhen, in the Yongle reign (AD 1403–24) invented this green and yellow colour scheme and design.

雙龍戲珠紋碗
此盤刻劃兩條五爪龍紋,側面可見口部緊閉,追逐火焰寶珠,其間飾如意雲頭紋。器底署四字青花款識“清華珍品”(意為清澈且美麗的珍貴物品),內部及器底罩透明釉。陶工們在黃地上以綠彩繪雲龍紋後,再以低溫二次燒成。早在永樂時期(1403-1424年),景德鎮的陶工們就創造出了這樣的黃、綠色彩搭配組合。
