Glazed porcelain hulu vase, ‘Squirrels with Vine,’ Kangxi mark

Porcelain vase in the shape of a double gourd. Against a white background, a vine with cobalt blue leaves and tendrils winds around the piece, dotted with clusters of copper-red grapes. Small blue squirrels enliven the scene. On the base is the six-character mark ‘大清康熙年製’ in underglaze blue, framed by a double circle.
