A YIXING YAO SQUARED VASE WITH AZURE GLAZED Early Qing Dynasty
Made from the sands of Yixing, this vase has squared, downward turning corners and a short narrowed neck. This then flows into shoulders that continue into a rectangular midsection. Sitting on a flat square base, the vase continues to gradually narrow towards a square shaped bottom. The entire vase is covered in an azure glaze which seemingly pieces together broken fragments. Due to the thinness of the glaze at the vase's four corners, rugged lines of dark soil are exposed form underneath. The bottom is fully glazed with no writing. It's a square vase, with clean, streaming contours. The glazed surface gives a dignified elegant look. The piece was created by Dabin's pupil, Zhenchun, during the Yixing era.
