The Meiyintang Collection
Qianlong Six-Character Mark
The present vase is remarkable for its magnificent celadon glaze and elegant facetted form of octagonal section. The whole vase was all evenly dressed with a silky sea-green glaze with smooth surface. The body is further decorated with tube-like handle at the shoulder. It is nicely inscribed on the base with the six-character seal mark in underglaze-blue. Vases of this form are based on the archaic bronze vessel， hu， and were first produced in the Yongzheng period， enjoying heightened popularity during the Qianlong reign. They were decorated in a range of glazes inspired by the celebrated wares of the Song dynasty.
