A LANGYAO PORCELAIN BOTTLE VASE, China, 19th / 20th century

The slender baluster body rising from a spreading foot to a waisted neck and everted mouth, covered in a deep copper-red glaze, milky lavender blue, and celadon colour, it is splendid for its changeable glaze colour, glaze on the interior suffused with a faint crackle as the classical character of Langyao glaze.
