A rare and well-preserved example of 19TH CENTURY from Qing Dynasty, Daoguang Period (1821-1850), noted for its craftsmanship, material quality, and historical relevance.

A Rare Blue-Glazed ''Double-Gourd'' Vase Qing Dynasty, Daoguang Mark and of the Period (1821--1850)\n\nThis exceptional piece is a classic example of monochrome porcelain, perfectly scaled as a cabinet size vessel.\n\nForm & Symbolism: The vase is elegantly potted in the auspicious ''double-gourd'' (Hulu) form, a shape strongly associated with longevity, wealth, and prosperity (Fulu).\n\nGlaze: Covered overall in a rich, dark navy blue monochrome glaze, known historically as ''Sacrificial Blue'' (Jilan). The dense, even colour and high lustre are hallmarks of Imperial quality.\n\nMark: The base is inscribed with the critically important Imperial six-character seal mark of the Daoguang Emperor (1821--1850) in underglaze blue, clearly enclosed within a double-circle, a convention signifying high-quality production from the kilns at Jingdezhen.\n\nCondition: Excellent antique condition, with the glaze neatly stopped above the foot ring, revealing a white glazed base.\n\nDimensions: 16 cm... (6.3 inches) high. A truly rare and desirable piece for the discerning collector of Qing Dynasty ceramics. The inclusion of ''clearly enclosed within a double-circle'' adds technical authenticity and appeal to expert collectors.
