清雍正 黃料長頸瓶 《雍正年製》款

the sumptuous body of swollen ovoid form, elegantly rising at the gently curved shoulders to a tall cylindrical neck, gently tapering to a sharply cut straight mouth, the concave base wheel-cut with a four-character reign mark within a square border, the glass of an opaque egg-yolk yellow colour 

The overall condition is very good. The inner mouth and the outer mouthrim appear to have been slightly polished. There is typical pinholes and general surface wear. The actual colour is quite similar to the catalogue illustration.
