Additional Information:

This piece, titled Parrot 1, is a masterfully shaped porcelain vase, notable for its tall and elegant silhouette and vivid cobalt blue underglaze. Created  in 2024 by artist Duan Yijian, the artwork uses expressive brushwork to depict a parrot perched amidst a lush flurry of tropical foliage. The bold, gestural strokes bring a sense of vitality and movement to the static ceramic form. The parrot gazes downward with a calm, intelligent presence, evoking themes of observation and quiet wisdom. This is a fusion of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary ink-style spontaneity, resulting in a work that is both classic and refreshing.
