A Robin's egg-glazed lantern vase with mythical beast handles, Qianlong Period, Qing Dynasty
Description
Beautifully shaped with symmetrical handles depicting mythical beasts on both sides, covered and embellished by a thick bright robin's egg glaze, combining turquoise and sapphire tones, creating a mottled and colorful effect. Robin's egg glaze is fired in low-temperature ovens instead of high-temperature kilns, and by using different temperatures it often enjoys a variegated color effect. This technique was created during the Yongzheng Period of the Qing Dynasty, in imitation of the Jun glaze. This piece has a smooth foot rim, and a firm and steady style with a sleek design. The glaze color is simple, elegant and in perfect condition, which is rare for an item from the Qianlong Period.
