A FLAMBÉ-GLAZED VASE, FANGHU JIAQING SEAL MARK AND PERIOD |

the pear-shaped body rising from a short spreading foot to a wide mouth flanked by a pair of square handles, moulded to the front and back with a large peach-shaped panel and covered overall in a purplish-red glaze streaked with bright turquoise thinning to beige on the extremities, six-character seal mark incised to the base  

Christie's London, 18th May 2012, lot 1235.

One of the handles and the area above and around it, as well as the indented corner to its left, have been over-sprayed, all of which are visible under the UV light, possibly due to restoration. There are some light surface wear and minor losses to the glaze, and also some firing imperfections throughout, including crackles, burst bubbles and glaze pulls in particular to the base.
