Description
Deep oxblood glazed Chinese porcelain vase with molded deer head handles that was potted and glazed with extreme precision. The glaze color truly stunning.The glaze, which is thick, smooth and shiny, is a transmutation glaze that has turned a deep red oxblood color. There are lighter pink red spots especially under the deer heads, around the rim and near the foot. The glaze has pooled near the foot and has been ground smooth. The red glaze extends a third of the way on the interior. The rest of the interior has a white glaze. The foot is unglazed. The cut foot ring has a nice worn feel although the glaze itself is not very oxidized.
The vase has fine attention to detail. There are two sculpted deer head handles on each side near the top. The vase was heavily potted and you can see the very fine potter’s wheel marks on the base. The vase has a six Chinese characters Guangxu reign mark hand-etched on the clay of the base.
We believe the vase is an excellent 20th century reproduction due to the limited wear and oxidation of the glaze and very limited color transmutation at the mouth.
**PLEASE NOTE: We have a second nearly matching vase available. It is identical except that it has a Tongzhi reign mark (1856 –1875) hand-etched on the base.

CONDITION

There is nothing like a good oxblood vase. The color is so rich and deep. The deep oxblood color and deer head handles make these vases of high distinction.
