About the Item

A fine antique Chinese porcelain vase. In a mallet or handbell shaped form (摇铃尊, yaolingzun) and decorated with a lovely aubergine or eggplant colored glaze throughout. The glaze thins and becomes a bit lighter shade as the nears the top rim. Drilled to the base (from previous mounting as a lamp). This would make a lovely lamp again if a collector were so inclined. Simply a wonderful Chinese vase! Date: Early 20th Century or earler Overall Condition: It is in overall fair, as-pictured, used estate condition. Condition Details: The base was drilled as a lamp. There are multiple chips to the vase's footrim (though none compromise its ability to stand), some noticeable scratches in the glaze, a few spost of fritting to the rim, some other fine & light surface scratches and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age. Marks: Unmarked Measurements: Height: ca. 17 1/4 in. Diameter: ca. 7 1/8 in. Items purchased from this dealer must delight you. Purchases may be returned for any reason for a period of 7 days.
