An elegant blue and white small hu-form vase with rounded sides and sharply incurving shoulders, surmounted by a tubular neck flaring gently to a galleried rim, the whole atop a rounded splayed foot. The vase is decorated with a frieze of flowering lotus plants. The foot rim and walls of the deep inset base are unglazed and the bottom is glazed white. As can be seen by the exposed biscuit on the bottom, though burnt in some areas, the paste exhibits the fine white compact texture typical of the period.
清代 Qing Dynasty, 乾隆 Qianlong Period (1736-1795)
Height:  4 3/4" (12.1cm)
