A RARE QING DYNASTY CELADON-GLAZED FLUTED BOTTLE ...

A rare and well-preserved example of 19TH CENTURY from Qing Dynasty (18th-19th Century), noted for its craftsmanship, material quality, and historical relevance.

An exceptionally elegant and finely potted bottle vase, dating to the Qing Dynasty (18th-19th Century). The globular body is meticulously moulded with crisp vertical fluting, creating a rhythmic texture that radiates from the shoulder to the base. It is enveloped in an even, luminous sea-green celadon glaze that artfully thins on the raised ribs and edges, a deliberate technique used to define the form and highlight the precision of the potting. The vase is surmounted by a tall, tapering neck rising to a flared, slightly lipped rim, all supported by a neatly pared, unglazed foot rim showing a characteristic buff-colored porcelain paste.\n\nCondition: The vase is in a good state of preservation with no signs of chips, cracks, or hairline fractures. Exhaustive inspection under UV light confirms no signs of restoration or overpainting.
