Flambé-glazed porcelain vase with bronze foot, Qing dynasty

A glazed porcelain vase in shades of purple and violet-blue with a flambé finish, characteristic of Jun kilns, which covers the entire outer surface. It has a stylized shape, with an elongated, straight neck, a globular body and a narrow base, supported on a bronze foot added later. The surface of the body is finely ribbed horizontally, adding texture and accentuating the visual effects of the drained enamel. The inside of the neck reveals a chromatic transition to a cream or ivory tone, which also decorates the outer rim of the mouth. Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) or later.
