Ceramic vase with “flambé” glaze, Qing dynasty

Ceramic vase with a circular base and a balustraded profile, standing on a flared foot. The body, slightly rounded, is decorated, at the level of the belly, by three horizontal ribs arranged in succession, and narrows progressively towards the neck, also decorated with two fine ribs in relief, to end in a flared mouth. 

The entire surface is covered by a thick cherry-toned flambé glaze with subtle purple and light blue stains more visible on the base, neck and mouth. The interior is also completely glazed with a beautiful milky blue color, where subtle purple stains stand out. The external part of the foot shows a bronze coating adorned by a row of small dots in relief.
