A FLAMBE-GLAZED ‘DOUBLE-CONJOINED’ VASE WITH ELEPHANT HANDLES
YONGZHENG PERIOD QING DYNASTY
清雍正 窑变釉双象耳菱口双联瓶
ESTIMATE: $15,000 – $25,000
Description
This rare and masterfully potted porcelain vase features a “double-conjoined” structure, with two hexagonal-section vessels seamlessly fused together. The mouth rim is elegantly shaped in a foliated “water chestnut” (lingkou) form, mirrored by the faceted, multi-lobed body. The neck is flanked by two meticulously sculpted elephant-head handles, symbolizing peace and universal harmony (taiping youxiang).
The vessel is enveloped in a magnificent flambé (yaobian) glaze, an imperial innovation of the Yongzheng period that sought to replicate and transcend the classical Jun wares of the Song dynasty. The glaze displays a brilliant synthesis of deep crimson and rich purple, streaked with opalescent splashes of lavender and sky-blue that flow naturally along the vertical ribs. At the edges and the mouth, the glaze thins to a pale mushroom-white, highlighting the vessel’s complex architectural silhouette. The base is finished with a typical brown-mottled “iron” wash, consistent with the high-quality production of the imperial kilns.

CONDITION REPORT
The vase is in excellent condition. The flambé glaze is exceptionally vibrant with a high-gloss finish and typical “orange-peel” texture. Standard inspection reveals no cracks, chips, or restorations to the body or the handles. The unglazed foot rim shows natural oxidation and wear consistent with the Yongzheng period.

清雍正 窑变釉双象耳菱口双联瓶
此瓶造型极其考究，采用双联体设计，两只六方瓶身合而为一，工艺难度极高。口部呈菱花形，与多棱状的器身相互呼应，线条转折流畅。颈部对称置双象耳，寓意“太平有象”，造型生动逼真。
整器满施窑变釉，此种釉色为雍正时期御窑厂对宋钧釉的成功摹仿与创新。釉面色彩变幻莫测，以深沉的红紫交织为主调，其间垂流着如云烟般的月白与天蓝色拉丝，斑斓瑰丽。口沿及棱角处釉薄显褐白色，即所谓“出筋”，使器形更显挺拔。底足露胎处胎质细腻坚致，修胎规整，呈现早期窑变釉特有的酱黄色或铁褐色护胎釉。
品相报告：
整器品相完好。釉色绚丽，光泽明亮，表面可见自然的橘皮纹。经细致检查，器身及双象耳均无裂纹、磕碰或任何修复痕迹。底足呈现随年代积累的自然磨损与火石红迹象。
