Qianlong Six-Character Mark and of the Period (1736-1795) |
Starting with an opening that has an outward turning rim and dropped shoulders, the body narrows gradually below the neck. It narrows again below the round belly onto a round foot. The entire piece is of white glaze with blue and white pattern decorating the walls. Below the rim is a circle of Ruyi cloud patterns. As for the neck and abdominal region, they are covered with a lotus pattern. Separating the two types of pattern is a continuous geometric/Fanglei pattern and another Ruyi cloud pattern. The Ruyi cloud pattern here is slightly different from that below the rim. There is a circle of lotus petal pattern near the foot and a circle of scroll designs on the wall of the foot. On the bottom, Made in the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty, is written in seal script across three lines of six characters. |
