AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very beautiful and rare Guan vessel from the 18th century, Qing Dynasty.
Carefully pottery-worked, the globular body sits on a conical foot and rises to a short, waisted neck with an inverted, iron-studded lip rim. The body is glazed with a dense, crackled light gray glaze, with the exception of the unglazed foot and base, which reveal the brown-tinted gray ceramic.
Provenance: From a private collection in Germany.
Condition: Very good condition with the usual signs of use and firing irregularities, a few tiny, flat chips on the foot and light abrasion marks on the brown glaze.
Weight: 145 g.
Dimensions: Height 7 cm, Diameter 7 cm.
Literature comparison:
Comparable to a closely related crackle-glazed vase from the 18th century, 10.5 cm high, in the Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums, Object number ABDMS024047. Compare to a closely related vessel with crackle glaze, dated 17th–18th century, 8.5 cm high, in the Dresden Museum of Ethnology, Inventory number 07073.
