A superb and very large high necked vase with a large bulbous ‘gadrooned’ base. The overall colour and patina suggest a period of time outside, where the vase may have formed part of a ‘scholars’ garden. The colour and patina gained from this exposure have created a wonderful ‘mellow’ colour and deep ‘glow’. Old ‘fissures’ and firing faults repaired with silver inlay. The base is missing, either through ‘firing’ or maybe at a later date with European mounts or electrification ?. The impressive size suggest this vase was destined, for either a Palace or high ranking official residence.
