Rare late Qianlong Zon-vase
A rare Qianlong period and marked olive green square vase with Ba Gwa motif.?This form of vases is called Zhun vases.?Zhun originated more than 6000 years ago as jade zhuns for use in official ceremonies.?Celadon porcelain zhun vases were made in Song dynasty reflecting emperor Hwei Zhon's taste for antiquity. This vase has a very fine and white clay body typical for Qianlong imperial porcelains.?A thin layer of pale brown coating was applied to the body before application of the glaze. The glaze is very thick in a color close to (dou qin) (pea green) of Song celadon porcelains, perhaps intended to imitate Song zhun vases. The imitation effort is successful in that the glaze has a low viscosity and high surface tension at the temperature during firing and cooling. As a result it runs ?thin at/above protruding ridges and accumulates?thick around concave corners. It also drains thin at the tips of protruding corners, revealing the underlying brown coating. These features are common among Song celadon porcelains.The typical underglaze blue Qianlong mark is written in Kai Su form in the center of outer base, covered by the green glaze and become dark color, not usual cobalt blue color.??A number of zhun vases were made during the long period from Qianlong to the last emperor of Qing dynasty for imperial use.?Zhun vases from different period can readily be differentiated primarily based on shape and the clay, though other features can support identification too. Song zhuns are slender and have coarse clay. Zhun vases made after Qianlong are increasingly fat; the clays are finer than Song counterparts but are coarser than Qianlong's. The shape of Qianlong zhuns are between these two, being slender than those of a later period.?Further, as shown by this vase, the neck of Qianlong zhun vases is longer, in proportion to the height of the body, then those of a later periods. Similarly, Qianlong zhuns mouth and foot are larger, in proportion to the cross sections of the body, than those of later periods.
清乾隆豆青釉八卦紋正方琮式瓶. 此琮形工整、胎甚細白、豆青釉厚、呈深的橄欖綠色、近於雍正乾隆的茶葉末釉、只是沒有黃褐斑奌、但較透明、釉表較光亮.因高溫下表面張力大、在凸轉角線上釉薄而露出釉下護胎漿的黃褐色.在凹轉角處釉堆積、較厚、色更深. 外底書"大清乾隆年製"二行青花楷款、上施豆青釉、使青花色帶黑. 外壁近底處有縮釉一小片. 此類豆青及粉青琮自南宋開始許多朝代都製造.大約乾隆琮稍瘦高、頸較長、口徑及足徑與器身橫徑比例稍大、近於宋元龍泉窯的八卦琮. 乾隆以後的瓷琮較胖、且口徑及足徑與器身橫徑比例小. 此琮較特殊的是釉下有一層護胎漿、這是宋元龍泉瓷的工藝、也可能是故意仿宋元琮. 此琮式瓶的造型、胎、釉、及款都符合乾隆的琮瓶特徵. 確為少見的乾隆瓷.
