A tall Kangxi period baluster form vase of slender form 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 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. The foot-rim exhibiting the tight compact paste typical of the Lang kiln. The vase, though shorter and with a broader shoulder closely resembles the Vermeer Langyao Vase.
