AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Cizhou vase with engobe-painted floral motifs
Finely crafted Cizhou stoneware vase from northern China, circa 18th century. The dense, gray body is coated with a thin, light gray-white slip, which serves as the base for the freely executed engobe painting in dark brown iron oxides. The lively, floral brushstrokes and the harmonious, globular silhouette are typical of the Qing period's expression of the Cizhou tradition, as cultivated in the workshops of the Hebei and Henan regions.
The vase displays an authentic patina as well as subtle signs of use; it is worth noting that it is in a completely original, unrestored condition.
