Red-Glazed Square-Section Vase with Tubular Handles - Porcelain - China - Republic period (1912-1949)

Description
A striking vase of elegant squared baluster form, with broad flared rectangular rim, gently tapering body and sturdy stepped foot. The shoulders are fitted with a pair of traditional tubular handles — the classic "ear" form — balanced and neatly proportioned. The exterior is enveloped in a rich, deep oxblood-red glaze, subtly streaked and suffused with luminous lavender-blue and celadon hues that cascade down the sides, characteristic of flame-transmutation glazing. The glaze ends neatly at the foot, revealing a warm, honey-stained biscuit rim; the rim edge and handle terminals are similarly trimmed in a pale golden-brown. A handsome and well-balanced decorative piece with powerful presence.

Dimensions:
Total height: approx. 19 cm

Condition
Gentle, even surface wear and patina consistent with age and handling;
No cracks, chips, hairlines or restoration observed;
Glaze retains good depth, colour and lustre; structurally intact and sound.
