A BLUE GLAZED BOTTLE VASE, TIANQIUPING
A BLUE GLAZED BOTTLE VASE, TIANQIUPING
China, 18th century. Thickly potted with a tall cylindrical neck rising from a compressed ovoid body. The exterior entirely covered with a lustrous layer of dark 'sacrificial' blue stopping in a neat line along the rim where the colorless glaze continues into the interior.
Provenance: From a private Edinburgh collection, Scotland. Collected in the 1920s-30s and thence by descent in the same family.
Condition: Good condition with few superficial glaze hairlines to base (not extending into the porcelain and hence not visible from inside), one hairline to neck, some old wear and minor firing flaws. Two small nicks to unglazed section of foot rim, probably from manufacturing. The hardwood base with extensive wear and a nicely grown, natural patina.
Weight: 3.8 kg (the vase) and 689.4 g (the base)
Dimensions: Height 42.5 cm without and 47.5 cm with the base
Unglazed foot ring and recessed base with transparent glaze. Nicely carved openwork hardwood base from the Qing dynasty, possibly even dating back to the same period as the vase itself. (2)
Auction result comparison: Compare with a closely related Tianqiuping at Bonham's San Francisco in Fine Asian Works of Art on 26 June 2018, lot 293, sold for USD $22,500 including buyer's premium.

中國，十八世紀。胎體重，長頸，圓球狀瓶身，全身施藍釉自然流下。
來源：蘇格蘭愛丁堡收藏，收集于上世紀二十至三十年代，自此保存于同一家族。
品相：品相良好，釉面有些微髮裂縫至底部（并未延伸至瓶胎内），一道髮絲裂縫至頸部，一些老磨損和輕微燒製瑕疵。足部未上釉処兩道小磕裂，可能是燒製時產生的。硬木底座磨損嚴重，有天然包漿。
