Qianlong Six-Character Mark
The elegantly potted pear-shaped vase rises from a spreading foot to a slender neck and flaring mouth， the exterior covered in a rich and lustrous green color. The bottom is nicely inscribed six-character Qianlong reign mark. This vase is of an especially elegant yuhuchunping， pear-shaped vase form. Some scholars have suggested that one of the uses for pear-shaped vases was as a decanter for wine.
