Celadon Lotus Form Vase. 清代 Qing Dynasty, 雍正 Yongzheng Period (1723-1735).  photos Vermeer & Griggs

A fine and elegant fluted and foliated lotus form vase covered in a thick rich blue-green celadon glaze. The form reminiscent of a Song shape and the glaze in imitation of the famous Song  Kinuta glaze, the term used by the Japanese to describe the hue of blue-green celadon that covered a Longquan mallet vase. The pear-shaped fluted body sits atop a high fluted foot-rim, the interior foot-rim scalloped to match as is the foliated mouth. This exquisite example dates to the Yongzheng era. The foot-rim burned reddish where the biscuit meets the glaze. Height:  8 1/4" (21cm)  Width:  5" (12.7cm). Height:  8 1/4" (21cm)  Width:  5" (12.7cm)  -
