The vase is well-potted with high, rounded shoulder below a short, waisted neck, and tapers elegantly towards the slightly flared foot. It is covered in a glaze shading from crushed-strawberry red on the shoulder to greyish red and celadon. The mouth rim and interior are glazed white.The glaze on the present vase is reminiscent of the peachbloom glaze that was first developed in the Kangxi period and used on eight vessel shapes referred to as the badama, or ‘Eight Great Numbers.’
