the pear-shaped body sweeping up from a gently splayed foot to a tall waisted neck and a garlic-mouth, painted with mandarin ducks, herons and various birds in a pond flourishing with lotus, reed and other aquatic plants, the neck decorated with butterflies among flower sprays, all below a row of pendent plantain leaves, the rim inscribed with a six-character reign mark
Condition
There is a restoration to the base and around the foot. The vase was possibly mounted as a lamp at some stage of its life, with the interior of the base now repaired, as well as the side of the foot which might have been drilled for electricity wire. There is a hairline crack restored at the rim, extending down on approx 2.5 cm and showing under UV with further re spray also showing on top on the mouthrim. There are few occasional losses to the enamel, including one to the butterfly near the garlic-mouth rim (approximately 0.8 by 0.3 cm), another small loss to one of the green pendants (approximately 0.3 by 0.5 cm), and another loss to one of the lotus leaf beneath the mandarin ducks near the foot (approximately 1.8 by 0.5 cm). There are expected light scratches to the surface glaze. Otherwise the vase is in good condition. It is particularly well painted with the vibrant enamel.
