AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1. Description of the vase
This vase is a meiping-type with an octagonal body, a short neck and an everted foot. It is covered with a deep olive-green celadon glaze. The eight faces are adorned with three registers of moulded relief panels. The central panels, shaped like lobed cartouches, are left unglazed — terra-cotta unglazed — and depict the Eight Immortals of Taoism among clouds. The upper and lower panels feature peonies and chrysanthemums in relief under the glaze. The concave base is glazed, with a central four-character mark: (Zhngguó Lóngquán), meaning "Longquan, China". The unglazed foot displays a bright rust color characteristic of the piece.
2. Stylistic identification
This model corresponds to a rare group of Longquan celadon vases produced under the Yuan dynasty, 14th century. The so-called molded and biscuit-reserved technique is specific to this period. The Eight Immortals are relatively rare on Yuan ceramics and constitute an important testimony to their early appearance in this medium.
