AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Chinese Fahua altar vase in turquoise glazed ceramic.
Chinese Enameled Moon Flask in Turquoise and Ocher, Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
A beautiful and authentic Chinese lunar flask enameled in turquoise and ochre, resting on a rectangular base.
Each side is decorated with a lotus flower. The body is topped with two small handles pierced with a hole for suspension.
China, Kangxi period, (1661 - 1722) - Good condition - small chips at the neck.
Dimensions: - Height 17.9 cm - Width 14.8 cm
Fahua vases were produced from the 14th century under the Yuan dynasty, in Shanxi province in northern China and probably in Jingdezhen, the site of imperial kilns from the Ming period. This type of ceramics appears to have been very little exported, and regnal seals are nonexistent.
Very good condition, with some loss of glaze, no restoration.
