About the Item
A tall and finely potted Chinese porcelain altar vase, decorated in underglaze cobalt blue on a pale celadon ground. Standing 17 inches high with an 8.5-inch body diameter and a wide 7-inch mouth opening, the vase displays a balanced, slightly waisted silhouette with a pronounced flared rim. The exterior is adorned with a figural scene likely depicting Daoist immortals or sages in a garden setting, rendered in expressive brushwork with tonal variations in blue.
Clusters of stylized clouds hover across the body, reinforcing the celestial theme, while molded and applied lion-mask or ruyi-form handles climb the neck, subtly punctuated in darker cobalt. The glaze itself carries a delicate greenish-blue celadon wash, with visible craquelure beneath the surface—adding a sense of depth and age.
The base is neatly finished with a recessed footring revealing the vitrified porcelain body, lightly stained from kiln firing. A decorative object with both visual and symbolic richness, this piece draws on traditional altar vase forms associated with ancestral rituals and temple display. Ideal for collectors of Chinese export porcelain or scholars of Qing-style blue-and-white wares.
