A MONOCHROME FLAMBE / TRANSMUTATION GLAZED PORCELAIN BALUSTER TWO-HANLDED VASE
China, Qing Dynasty, Qianlong incised mark and possibly of the period
Of urn form and raised on a spreading foot, with a bow-string border below the shoulder and a pair of trailing scroll handles flanking the neck, the exterior covered with a glaze of crushed red color streaked in purple and milky blue and thinning to mushroom on the handles.
Notes:
1. Flambé glazes derive from the Jun wares of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), a glaze that was first revived during the Yongzheng period and remained popular throughout the Qing Dynasty.
2.
