A Ge-type vase, fanghu, China, Qing dynasty, first quarter of the 18th century

Provenance: Previously in the collection of Dr. Hugh Shire.

Note: The crackles on this vase are known as jinsi tiexian (Gold thread and iron wire), and were deliberately induced during the cooling process and later highlighted by staining. The glaze and black dressing are conscious imitations of Song Ge ware.
