康熙 Kangxi Langyao Baluster Vase

A tall Kangxi period baluster form vase of slender form with a flared cylindrical neck rolling outward at the mouth rim. The 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 and upper body void of the copper red coating revealing the mushroom toned crackled underglaze, pooling only around the neck and reappearing halfway down the vase in streaks of brilliant red color collecting at the foot in deepest raspberry hue and stopping at the bottom of the stepped foot. The base is covered with a pale mushroom hued crackle glaze.
