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. |
