A RARE ROBIN'S-EGG-GLAZED BOTTLE VASE

9.5cm (7 3/4in) high.
十八/十九世紀 爐鈞釉長頸瓶
Provenance: a European private collection
'Robin's-egg' glaze was used from the Yongzheng period until the 19th century, and is called Lu Jun or 'furnace Jun' in China, suggesting that a connection was made with the Jun glazes of the Song dynasty, and because it was fired in a furnace at a lower temperature after the firing of the porcelain.
Compare with a related robin's-egg-glazed vase, 18th century, which was sold at Sotheby's London, 11 May 2011, lot 246.
