257 - A sky-blue-glazed zun with a pair of deer-form handles The elegant form of this zun recalls archaic bronze vessels, covered overall in a clear, luminous sky-blue glaze and fitted with a pair of deer-form handles to the neck. The pale, warm tone characteristic of the sky-blue glaze enhances the vessel's refined silhouette, while the deer motif carries auspicious connotations of fortune and prosperity (fulu). The harmonious combination of its archaistic bronze-inspired form, refined glaze tone, and auspicious beast-form decoration lends the piece a rare nobility and auspicious character. Painted with a six-character mark reading Da Qing Qianlong Nian Zhi (made during the Qianlong reign of the Great Qing). W: 25.8cm H: 31.3cm With a firing flaw to the mark on the base. Wooden box China, Qing Dynasty
