A COPPER-RED PEAR-SHAPED VASE SEAL MARK AND PERIOD OF QIANLONG

the graceful form with a wide swelling belly tapering to a waisted neck and flared mouth,  supported on a slightly splayed foot, covered overall in a deep raspberry glaze, the interior and base left in a white glaze, the base inscribed in underglaze blue with a six-character reign mark

The overall condition is very good. The glaze is a little bit runny near the foot with 'tear drop' streaks. The inerior of the mouth has some light stains, that can probably be cleaned out.
