This is an exceptional vase with its magnificent celadon glaze, imposing size, highly stylised relief carving and unusual metal form. The large square vase is superbly potted into an octagonal shape modeled after early bronze form. The voluminous main section stands on a splayed foot rising to a wider shoulder which bends sharply to form a curved neck toward an octagonal mouth rim. The entire exterior is carved with various archaic motif in shallow relief under a beautiful warm celadon-green glaze, paling slightly along the edges of the raised carving giving depth and emphasis to the designs. The carved motif were skillfully executed with striking resemblance to early archaic bronze decoration. The unglazed foot ring exposes the unusual thick wall and its silky smooth porcelain body. The base is inscribed with a Qianlong Imperial seal mark in dark cobalt blue. Except for normal wear to glaze surface, the vase is in excellent condition. Striking Qing Imperial monochrome vase with such superb carving and magnificent glaze is rarely seen on open market. We are offering this beautiful vase at a reasonable reserve.
