清十八／十九世紀 窰變釉貫耳方壺

the well-potted body of flattened pear shape rising from a short splayed foot to a tall broad neck collared with two raised ribs, flanked by a pair of lug handles, covered overall save for the base with a brilliant raspberry glaze transmuting to a plum colour with milky lavender- blue streaks cascading down from the rim

The vase is in good condition with the exception of one of the handles which has been restored. There are very minor glaze flakes at the foot, and minor burst bubbles.
