Famille-rose Vase with Tubular Ears and Peony Design on a Coral-red Ground

Coral red glaze is a premixed glaze that is painted on top of a finely textured white body and fired at a low temperature to create a uniformly glazed body. The name of the glaze attained its name from a hint of yellow in its red hue, similar to actual coral. Adorned with familie-rose peony branches, this Yongzheng-era vase was considered precious and was used only for decoration.
