This is a beautifully crafted Qing Dynasty Kangxi period yellow-ground porcelain vase, standing 42 cm tall, and is highly collectible. The vase is decorated with a rounded "寿" (longevity) character and peach patterns symbolizing good fortune, all favored by the Kangxi Emperor. The glaze is a vibrant yellow (commonly known as yellow-ground glaze), a glaze reserved for the imperial court. The base is inscribed with the words "Made during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty."
