A 'FAMILLE-ROSE' VASE QING DYNASTY, YONGZHENG PERIOD

of slender baluster form, finely and brightly enamelled around the exterior with a bird perched on a tree above composite floral blooms

The vase is in very good condition with the exception of some very light glaze firing stress lines winding around the lower body from the foot, minor glaze firing imperfections including iron-spots and burst bubbles and minor glaze and enamel scratches. It should be noted that the enamels are slightly brighter and stronger than the catalogue illustration would suggest.
