About this object

This bottle vase is set on a slightly splayed foot ring rising to a globular body and surmounted by a tall neck with flared mouth. It is covered in a glossy flambe raspberry glaze transmuting to lavender blue and purple, resembling the speckled robin's egg glaze, or lujun; the mouth is dressed with a coffee glaze. A two-character cold paint mark is on the base.
