康熙 Kangxi Langyao Baluster Vase

A tall 康熙 Kangxi period elongated baluster form vase with a flared cylindrical neck rolling outward at the mouth rim. The thinly waisted body rising from a widely splayed stepped foot to a broad rounded shoulder is covered with a sumptuous rich raspberry transparent langyao glaze that has drained to the foot leaving the neck partially covered red, pooling around the neck and shoulder to a deep red and lightening as it rolls over the shoulder collecting at the foot in deepest raspberry hue and stopping, perfectly controlled, just above the stepped foot. The base is covered with a pale celadon hued crackle glaze, iron spots apparent within the craquelure. The foot-rim exhibiting the tight compact paste typical of the Lang kiln. The vase, though shorter and with a broader shoulder resembles the Vermeer Langyao Vase.
