The pear-shaped vase, decorated with a peony scroll, is the only copper-red vase of the Hongwu period (1368-1398) in perfect condition.

This magnificent early Ming underglaze copper-red vase, ‘yuhuchunping’, realized an astonishing HK$78,520,000 (ca. US$10,207,600) in The Imperial Sale held at Christie’s Hong Kong today (30 May 2006), setting a world auction record for any Ming porcelain. The vase was sold to Mr. Steve Wynn, Chairman & CEO of Wynn Resorts (Macau).
