Peach-bloom Radish-shaped Zun Vessel

This zun takes its name from its resemblance to a radish. Late Kangxi-era peach-bloom red glaze, produced at Jingdezhen, is a kind of high-temperature copper red glaze that is named for its resemblance to the color of the peach blossom. The luminous red glaze is otherwise known as “cowpea skin red”, “baby’s cheek”, and “tipsy beauty”. The glaze just under the neck is thin and transparent, thereby revealing the color of the clay body.
