High Imitation Underglaze-Red Apple-Shaped Vase 高仿釉下彩小口苹果尊

High Imitation Underglaze-Red Apple-Shaped Vase

This vase features a small flared mouth, rolled lip, constricted neck, round body, and resting on a circular foot. Inside the foot ring is an inscription in regular script reading "Made during the Kangxi reign of the Great Qing Dynasty." The shape is smooth and well-proportioned, with a pure glaze color. The surface is fully glazed, smooth, and exhibits a glossy, glass-like texture that is crystal clear and transparent.

The craftsmanship highlight of this piece lies in the perfect combination of high-temperature underglaze red and overglaze polychrome decoration. This variety is a unique creation of the imperial kilns during the Kangxi reign, boasting a distinctive shape and exquisite design. The complex production process, requiring multiple firings, demonstrates the extraordinary craftsmanship of artisans during the Kangxi period, making it one of the precious items produced by the official kilns of that era.

Similar pieces can be found in renowned museums and collections around the world, including the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Shanghai Museum, the Meiyintang Collection in Switzerland, and the Baur Collection in Switzerland. These provide excellent references for comparison.
