清十九世紀 透明料磨花盌 及 赭黃料葫蘆瓶

the bowl cut with honeycomb faceted sides, supported on a straight, slightly rounded footring; the vase of double gourd form, elegantly modelled from a solid block of opaque greenish-yellow glass

There are a few minute nicks along the interior edge and on the rim of the bowl, possibly original to the piece. It is otherwise in good condition. The double gourd vase is in very good condition. There is some light minor pitting to the surface in areas. The actual colour of the vase is slightly less tinged to yellow, more greenish compared to the catalogue illustration
