This is a late 15th century artifact collected at the Minneapolis Museum of Art. Its decorative patterns include peonies, lotus flowers, birds, flowers, animals, fish, and even landscapes. These patterns are all painted in underglaze blue with a wavy background. The bottleneck is decorated with cloud vortices, there are banana leaves below the bottle mouth, and lotus leaves around the bottom of the bottle. The inspiration for Vietnamese blue and white porcelain comes from China. However, Vietnamese ceramic artists are not just imitators, they have developed a series of decorative patterns. This elegant pear shaped bottle is closely related to the Chinese prototype in both shape and decoration.
