A bottle vase of elegant form, the hexagonal lobed pear shaped body sits atop a widely splayed foot and rises gently to a flared galleried mouth rim. The "S" form handles shaped as dog heads with long curving tongues flank either side of the facetted neck, the whole covered in a deep qiepi zi  (aubergine-eggplant skin purple) purple glaze. The interior is only partly glazed and the concave base and foot-rim are unglazed.
清代 Qing Dynasty, 康熙 Kangxi Period (1662-1722)
Height:  12 1/2" (31.7cm)
