Discover the rich artistry embodied in this Sang de Boeuf flambe glaze globular lidded jar, a piece that resonates with the grandeur of Chinese ceramic craftsmanship. The jar is distinguished by its vibrant ox-blood red glaze, a characteristic feature of the Sang de Boeuf or "Ox Blood" style, which is celebrated for its deep, flowing red hues that evoke a sense of luxury and historical depth. Resting on a crackle glaze ground base, the jar presents a harmonious silhouette, with its bulbous body offering a pleasing contrast to the flat lid that adorns it. The lid, which features a central finial for ease of handling, adds a balanced aesthetic to the piece, marrying form and function in a seamless display of craftsmanship.

This apocryphal mark, a nod to the revered Qianlong Emperor's reign, adds a layer of historical and cultural significance to the piece, connecting it to a period of flourishing artistry and innovation.
