The broad, slightly rounded cylindrical body rises to a canted shoulder below a cylindrical neck. The vase is covered inside and out, and on the base, with an unctuous glaze that shades from blue-green on one side to a brownish-blue green color, and pools thickly at the foot.
Provenance: Alfred E. Guntermann (1943-2013) Collection.
Note: Mr. Guntermann was an enthusiastic and passionate New England collector, with a particular interest in porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Included here is an interesting and varied group of different types of wares, from unusual Longquan celadon wares from the Southern Song dynasty, rare blue and white wares from the Ming dynasty, exuberantly painted blue and white and famille verte porcelains from the Kangxi period, and finely painted mark-and-period porcelains of the Qing dynasty.
