(R) SMALL BULBOUS LONG-NECK VASE BRICK RED GLAZE, QING DYNASTY CHINA

Dimensions: Height 12,5 cm Wide 9,2 cm Depth 9,2 cm
Weight: 164 grams

Of elegant form, the vase is finely potted with a compressed globular body rising from a short foot to a tall, slender cylindrical neck with slightly everted rim. The exterior is evenly covered with a rich, deep brick-red glaze, stopping neatly at the footrim to reveal the white porcelain body beneath. The glaze shows a subtle sheen and minor speckles, typical of the refined monochromes developed under Qing imperial kilns.

Such monochrome red wares were highly prized in the Qing dynasty, reflecting both technical mastery and auspicious symbolism — the red color (hong) associated with prosperity, joy, and good fortune.
