私人收藏
清雍正 青花纏枝蓮鋪首耳長頸蓮口瓶 《大清雍正年製》款
the tall slender neck encircled by a raised fillet below a lotus pod-form rim with moulded petals, the shoulder applied with two lion masks suspending mock rings and surrounded by a superbly painted composite floral meander, between a band of waves and a border of upright lappets, the base inscribed with a six-character reign mark within a double circle
34.4 cm
The vase is in extremely good condition with just insignificant surface wear. A small section of the footring has possibly been lightly levelled before the firing to enhance its upright form.
整體品相完好,惟見器面輕微磨痕,屬正常。
足圈小處經磨,仔細查看上面有釉,應在入窰前修胎時為確保長頸瓶造型而作。
