Porcelain Introduction: this blue-and-white and underglaze-red covered jar with reserved panels, applied floral decoration, and an animal-form knob exhibits a full and powerful shape. The jar features a rounded mouth, short neck, broad shoulders, a rounded belly that tapers to a ring foot, and is crowned by a lid topped with a beast-shaped finial—all embodying the dignified stability typical of such vessels.

The lid is decorated with a key-fret pattern in underglaze blue, while the knob is sculpted into an auspicious animal with vivid expression. From shoulder to belly, the body is outlined with rhombus-shaped reserved panels in underglaze blue. Within these panels, floral motifs are ornamented using a combined technique of applied relief and underglaze blue-and-red painting. The interplay of brilliant blue and deep red glazes, along with the raised three-dimensional flowers displaying delicate texture, breaks the monotony of flat painted decoration. Outside the reserved panels, the ground is painted with underglaze-blue wave patterns and other motifs, rendered in dense yet orderly lines.

In terms of body and glaze, the exposed clay at the foot reveals a fine, compact texture, while the overall glaze is pure white, glossy, and translucent. The underglaze blue appears bright and vibrant, and the underglaze red is rich and stable—their harmonious combination attests to the potter’s masterful control over glaze formulation and kiln temperature.

Integrating multiple techniques including underglaze blue, underglaze red, and applied relief, this covered jar is adorned with auspicious motifs and exemplifies extremely complex and refined craftsmanship. As a representative masterpiece of Yuan-dynasty blue-and-white and underglaze-red porcelain, it reflects the pinnacle of ceramic production achieved at Jingdezhen during that period.

青花釉里红：青花釉里红，俗称“青花加紫”，是在青花间用釉里红加绘纹饰的一种瓷器装饰手法。

“青花”是指用青花料描绘图案花纹，然后施透明釉，以1200C以上的还原焰一次烧成的釉下彩。“釉里红”是指用铜的氧化物（铜花）为着色剂配制的彩料，在坯体上（先施以青白釉的坯胎土）

描绘纹样，再盖一层青白釉，然后装匣入窑，经1250C～1280C的强还原焰气氛，使高价铜还原成低价铜，呈现娇妍而沉着的红色花纹,故称“釉里红”。因烧成合格品很困难，故其产品极为名贵。釉里红有单独装饰，但大多数与青花相结合在一起进行装饰而称为“青花釉里红”。其特点既有青花的“幽靓雅致，沉静安定”的特色，又增添了釉里红的浑厚壮丽，丰富了色彩效果，形成了高雅而又朴实的艺术风格。因此，青花釉里红瓷成为我国珍贵的品种之一。

Blue and white with underglaze red, commonly known as "blue and white plus purple", is a porcelain decoration technique that uses underglaze red to add patterns between blue and white motifs.

"Blue and white" refers to depicting patterns with blue and white pigments, then applying a transparent glaze, and firing it in a reducing flame at over 1200°C in one go to form underglaze color.

"Underglaze red" refers to a coloring material formulated with copper oxides (copper flowers) as colorants. Patterns are drawn on the biscuit (or on the biscuit that has been first applied with a blue-white glaze), then covered with a layer of blue-white glaze, and then loaded into a sagger and put into the kiln. Under a strong reducing flame atmosphere at 1250°C to 1280°C, high-valent copper is reduced to low-valent copper, presenting delicate yet calm red patterns, hence the name "underglaze red".

Due to the difficulty in producing qualified products, its products are extremely precious. Underglaze red can be used for decoration alone, but most of the time, it is combined with blue and white for decoration, which is called "blue and white with underglaze red". It features both the "elegant, quiet and stable" characteristics of blue and white, and adds the rich and magnificent quality of underglaze red, enriching the color effect and forming an elegant yet simple artistic style. Therefore, blue and white with underglaze red porcelain has become one of the precious varieties in China.

收藏统计：1964年出土于中国河北省保定市永华南路元代窖藏，现收藏于河北省博物馆和北京故宫博物院。自2013年河北省博物馆新馆开放后长期陈列于《名窑名瓷》展厅，是该馆陶瓷类藏品中唯一禁止出境展览的文物。类似同款真品全球现存世不超10件，此件青花釉里红开光贴塑花卉纹兽钮盖罐于2025年6月今成国际集团从澳门一位资深收藏家处购买，元青花釉里红开光贴塑花卉纹兽钮盖罐更被誉为瓷器中的“釉彩皇后”。

According to collection statistics:it was unearthed in 1964 from a Yuan Dynasty hoard on Yonghua South Road, Baoding City, Hebei Province, China, and is now collected in the Hebei Museum and the Palace Museum in Beijing. Since the new Hebei Museum opened in 2013, it has been permanently displayed in the "Famous Kilns and Porcelains" exhibition hall and is the only cultural relic among the museum's ceramic collections that is prohibited from being exhibited abroad. 

There are no more than 10 similar authentic pieces in existence worldwide. This blue-and-white underglaze red jar with openwork, appliqué floral patterns and a beast knob lid was purchased by Jincheng International Group at a high price from a senior

collector in Macau in June 2025. The Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white underglaze red jar with openwork,appliqué floral patterns and a beast knob lid is even known as the "Queen of Glaze Colors" among porcelains.

存世量极度稀少：全球公认的馆藏完整器仅3件，流通市场中出现的不超过7件，且多为残件或修复件，其稀缺性决定了它的顶级收藏地位，更是文化传承的无价之宝。

Extremely scarce in existence: there are only 3 globally recognized complete pieces in museum collections, and no more than 7 in the circulation market, most of which are fragments or restored items. Its scarcity secures its position as a top-tier collection.
