Title: A Very Fine and Rare 'Sun' Bucket Dish

Description:
This exquisite and rare bucket dish, known as ‘Sun’ Cheers, exemplifies masterful craftsmanship and delicate artistry. The cup features a gracefully rounded pot-shaped body with steeply curved sides that gently flare outward at the rim, creating an elegant and balanced silhouette.

The exterior is beautifully adorned with a vibrant and dynamic scene, depicting a radiant red-orange sun emerging between swirling clouds rendered in rich shades of green, yellow, aubergine, and iron red. This striking motif symbolizes harmony, celestial power, and auspicious fortune. The intricate design continues along the inner lip, where a delicate single-line border accentuates the rim, unifying the composition.

The stem and foot of the vessel further showcase meticulous craftsmanship. The trumpet-shaped foot is elegantly structured with two raised rings positioned just below the ruyi head—a traditional Chinese motif associated with prosperity and good fortune. Encircling the base of the stem are five distinct "hoo" characters, enhancing the piece’s symbolic and cultural significance. Additionally, a finely executed double-line character border decorates the upper section of the foot, adding to the dish's refined aesthetic.

On the underside of the stem and within the foot, a six-character Heng Yong Zheng reign mark is inscribed, signifying its historical importance and possible association with the imperial kilns.
