元朝是蒙古貴族的政權。蒙古族的鐵蹄曾踏到歐洲的多瑙河畔，建立了幅員廣闊的蒙古汗國，在這樣一個橫跨歐亞兩大洲的蒙古族統治區域內，以前各割據地區間中斷了的交往和聯系開始恢復，并逐漸加強，沒有阻礙，甚至那條古老的絲綢之路也比歷史上任何時期都來得安全和暢通。另一方面，在依靠武力西征的過程中，大批中亞、波斯和阿拉伯的制陶工匠們被迫東遷中國，也許是他們帶來了藍彩陶器的制作技術，也許是景德鎮工匠自覺掌握了鈷藍的發色原理，其實這些已都不重要，重要的是在蒙古貴族統治的大文化圈下，伊斯蘭文化中喜聞樂見的藍彩繪畫遇到了景德鎮的優質瓷土，兩相結合，便生產出了質高貌美的青花瓷。
Yuan Dynasty was the regime of Mongolian aristocrats. The Mongolian iron hoof once set foot on the Danube River in Europe, and established a vast Mongolian Khanate. In such a Mongolian-ruled region spanning two continents of Europe and Asia, the interrupted exchanges and contacts between the former separatist regions began to recover, and gradually strengthened without hindrance. Even the ancient Silk Road was safer and smoother than at any time in history. On the other hand, in the process of western expedition by force, a large number of pottery craftsmen from Central Asia, Persia and Arabia were forced to move eastward to China. Perhaps they brought the production technology of blue pottery, and perhaps Jingdezhen craftsmen consciously mastered the principle of cobalt blue hair color. In fact, these are not important. What is important is that under the big cultural circle ruled by Mongolian aristocrats, the blue color paintings loved and heard in Islamic culture met the high-quality porcelain clay in Jingdezhen, and the combination of the two produced high quality and beautiful.
青花瓷是我國最具民族特色的瓷器。目前發現最早的青花瓷是唐代的；成熟的青花瓷器出現在元代；明代青花成為瓷器的主流；清康熙時發展到了頂峰。元青花是青花瓷發展史上的第一個高峰，以鮮活、艷麗、明快獨樹一幟。開辟了由素瓷向彩瓷過渡的新時代，在制瓷工藝上獲得重大突破。人工裝飾技巧也被提升到前所未有的高度，一些器型與紋飾體現了新的藝術潮流，表現出中華傳統文化的深厚內涵。
Blue and white porcelain is the most national porcelain in China. At present, the earliest blue-and-white porcelain is found in Tang Dynasty. Mature blue and white porcelain appeared in yuan dynasty; Blue and white became the mainstream of porcelain in Ming Dynasty. It reached its peak during the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty. Yuan blue-and-white is the first peak in the history of blue-and-white porcelain development, which is unique in its freshness, beauty and brightness. It opened up a new era of transition from plain porcelain to colored porcelain, and made a great breakthrough in porcelain making technology. Artificial decoration skills have also been promoted to an unprecedented height, and some shapes and ornamentation reflect the new artistic trend and the profound connotation of Chinese traditional culture.
元青花的紋飾也極有特點。概括起來，一是內容豐富，主體紋飾包括走獸翎毛、花卉瓜果、蟲魚、人物和雜寶等，邊角及輔助紋飾更是多種多樣。二是分層較多，少則三層，多至九層。三是布局繁滿。上下看，紋飾頂天立地；左右看，圖像如首尾相接的幻燈片；具體觀每一片紋飾，大多密密匝匝，很少有像中國畫常要求的“留白”。元青花的紋飾可謂是繁而不縟、多而不亂、密而不匝，有一種特殊的、兼具東西藝術神韻的美感。元青花瓷裝飾意味濃厚的構圖方式、穩重的色彩、釉下繪畫靈動的表現力，在中國陶瓷史上具有空前絕后的歷史地位。

The ornamentation of blue and white flowers in Yuan Dynasty can be described as numerous but not sloppy, numerous but not chaotic, dense but not crooked, and has a special aesthetic feeling with the artistic charm of East and West. Yuan blue-and-white porcelain decoration has an unprecedented historical position in the history of Chinese ceramics, which means strong composition, steady color and clever expression of underglaze painting.

The cover is double-ringed, and the vertical wall of the cover is painted with folded branches and flowers. Plum bottle shoulder ornaments with positive and negative coherent flower patterns with bound branches. Gaskin painted the grass pattern for a week, with lotus petals painted on his feet, flowers and beads painted inside, leaving gaps between lotus petals. The belly theme ornamentation is painted with cloud dragon pattern, and the dragon looks forward with its head held high, elegant, smart, vigorous and graceful. The clouds around the dragon body are blossoming, reflecting the vigorous, free and magnificent trend of the dragon. The overall brushwork is free and unrestrained, and the blue and white are green and beautiful, just like the dignified and dizzy dyeing of ink and wash, which is quite interesting.

本品腹部主題紋飾為云龍紋，龍神態生動，龍鱗雖然不相同于戴維德爵士所藏至正十一年銘大瓶的大鱗片，但絕非常見的交錯網狀畫法，而是一絲不茍地由細筆勾繪而成的致密小鱗片，可見繪畫者用心至深和技法高超。
The belly theme of this product is a cloud dragon pattern, with a vivid dragon expression. Although the Long Lin is different from the big scales hidden by Sir Edgeworth Beresford David to the Ming Dynasty vase in the eleventh year, it is by no means a common interlaced painting method, but a dense small scale meticulously drawn by fine pens, which shows that the painter has deep intentions and superb techniques.
