Description: Porcelain with white and peach bloom glaze
China, Kangxi period (1662-1722)
The elegant slender baluster body sing from a narrow-recessed base which is left unglazed. The tall trumpet neck shows an everted rim where the peachbloom (jiang dou hong) glaze transitions to the white glaze we find inside and at the underside which bears a double-circle mark.
The front side shows a pristine area of even red whilst the other side and the neck boasts mottled glaze with lighter colors and splashes of green.
Shape: Liuyeping shape
Dimensions: Height 17 cm
Condition: Excellent condition
Provenance: German private collection, Munich. Acquired from Charlotte Horstmann in Hong Kong in 1972
Literature comparison: This vase belongs to the classical group of the ‘Eight Objects for the Scholar's Desk’, whose peachbloom glazed items were very popular in the Kangxi period (cf. Suzanne Valenstein, A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics, New York 1989, p. 237).
