A RARE CLAIR-DE-LUNE GLAZED ‘RUYI’ MEIPING VASE
GUANGXU PERIOD (1875-1908)
清光绪 天蓝釉暗刻如意纹梅瓶
ESTIMATE: $8.000– $12.000
Description
This elegant meiping vase is a sophisticated example of late Qing dynasty imperial-style porcelain. Standing at 20.8 cm, the vessel features a high-shouldered body tapering gracefully to a flared foot, surmounted by a short waisted neck and a rolled rim. The body is covered in an even, luminous clair-de-lune (sky-blue) glaze of exceptional clarity and smoothness, inspired by the celebrated monochrome glazes of the Kangxi period.
The shoulder is subtly decorated with an incised (an hua) ruyi-head motif, which is visible only upon close inspection, adding a layer of scholarly refinement to the minimalist form. The base is inscribed with a six-character mark in underglaze blue reading Da Qing Guangxu Nian Zhi (Made in the Guangxu Reign of the Great Qing).
Dimensions
• Height: 20.8 cm (8.19 in)
CONDITION REPORT
The vase is in excellent condition. The glaze retains a brilliant, glassy luster with no signs of wear or scratches. The rim and foot are perfectly intact. No cracks, chips, or restorations are visible.
