240 - A flambé-glazed vase with tubular handles A vase of well-balanced, archaistic form fitted with tubular handles (guaner), its entire surface covered in a flambé glaze whose complex colouration — produced by transmutation during firing — creates a shifting "landscape" across the body. The piece exemplifies the aesthetic, unique to Qing-dynasty ceramics, in which the glaze itself becomes the primary object of appreciation. Six-character mark of Qianlong. W: 20cm H: 30.2cm A repair to the base China, Qing Dynasty
