A Robins Egg-Glazed Latern Vase with Mythical Beast Handles, Qianlong Period, Qing Dynasty
D: 4cm, H: 10.5cm Beautifully shaped with symmetrical handles depicting mythical beasts on both sides, covered and embellished by a thick bright robin's egg glaze, combining turquoise and sapphire tones, creating a mottled and colourful effect. Robin's egg glaze is fired in low-temperature ovens instead of high- temperature kilns, and by using different temperatures it often enjoys a variegated color effect. This technique was created during the Yongzheng Period of the Qing Dynasty, in imitation of the Jun glaze. This piece has a smooth foot rim and a firm and steady style with a sleek design. The color is simple, elegant and in perfect condition , which is rare for an item from the Qianlong Period.
