Description:
|
This ware has the same shape as an ancient gui. The base is round, but the rim is oval. Beneath the rim are two protruding bands. The body is rotund and mounted with two dragon loop-ears. The glaze is thick throughout this ware, and the crackles are evenly sized.Copper is glued to the rim and the foot by raw lacquer. Judging from the shape, the rim is a bit short, and it is possible that the rim was chipped and then ground down before the copper was affixed. The reddish copper suggests that it was made during the Yong-zheng or Qian-long reign of the Qing Dynasty.
