Flambé Vase

This rectangular-shape vase has symmetrical loop ears and is covered in an irregular iridescent glaze that is transformed in the kiln. By the late Qing, most glazes of this kind were red in hue with specks of black shining through. This type of glaze served as the foundation for the present-day glaze from Jingdezhen called “spring comes in full form” (sanyang kaitai).
