This exquisite underglaze five-colors porcelain masterpiece by Master Deng Wenke features a pristine white ceramic body adorned with a hand-painted Chinese motif. A vibrant red lotus in full bloom takes center stage, accompanied by sturdy seed pods, slender stems, and two kingfishers in mid-flight—rendered in striking blue with reddish-orange chests. The composition balances meticulous detail with expressive ink-brush strokes, embodying the harmony of traditional "hua niao" (flower-and-bird) painting and ceramic artistry. Fired at 1380°C, the colors remain eternally vivid, making this a true "painting on porcelain" for the ages.
