A LARGE FAMILLE-ROSE 'PEACH' VASE LATE 19TH / EARLY 20TH CENTURY

of tianqiuping form, the globular body rising to a tall cylindrical neck flaring slightly at the rim, brightly enameled to the exterior with gnarled leafy branches issuing nine ripened peaches and flowering blossoms, the recessed base with an apocryphal six-character Qianlong mark

The vase appears to be in good overall condition. There are the expected firing imperfections common on vases of this size and type, such as scattered iron spots, burst bubbles in the glaze and a slightly uneven 'orange peel' surface. There are light signs of wear to some of the enamels.
