Echoes of Antiquity 10 is a refined porcelain artwork created by artist Duan Yijian in October 2021. Crafted from Jingdezhen white porcelain, it measures 25 cm in diameter and 18 cm in height. This piece masterfully blends tradition and modernity, featuring a classic Chinese ceramic form with a gently flared neck, a full, rounded body, and a gracefully tapered base. Its smooth, pristine white surface exudes an elegant luster.
The decoration is dominated by bold cobalt-blue hand-drawn lines, with an abstract human figure on the front, flowing with dynamic energy as if telling a symbolic story. The neck is adorned with red and green natural elements, resembling mountains or foliage, creating a striking contrast with the blue-and-white theme and adding depth to the composition.
As a representative of Jingdezhen porcelain, this work not only preserves the essence of millennia-old ceramic craftsmanship but also showcases artistic innovation through modern abstract design. Its harmonious blend of elegance and cultural depth makes it truly breathtaking.
