item#: 82893
price: SOLD
Large 17 1/2"H lidded jar finely painted in the Kangxi style in sapphire blue on a white porcelain ground. The decoration features a pheasant on a rocky outcropping surrounded by flowering plants which extend around the circumference of the vase and up to the neck, where a second bird perches on a flowering branch. A blue foo lion finial tops the domed cover. The base is encircled by a band of crested waves. The shoulder panel decoration features lotus flowers on a mosaic ground. The shape of the vase has the larger lid, taller neck and less pronounced belly curve which developed in the Kangxi Period. The white porcelain ground has a faint tinge of green. The interior of the base is glazed to about half-way down the foot. The vase is believed to date from the early 19th century to possibly late 18th century. It is in excellent condition.
