A Late Ming Blanc de Chine Ku Vase, 17thC.
A LATE MING DEHUA BLANC DE CHINE KU VASE, 17TH CENTURY.

A beaker vase based on the classic ancient bronze ku wine vessel. The vessel is entirely plain except for two raised rings around the waist. The glaze is a mid ivory colour and is present within the flat foot-rim. Donnelly ( Blanc de Chine, Faber & Faber, 1969 ) states that the beaker vases with flat foot-rims date from the later 17th century, by the 18th century they have stepped rims.

7.5/8 inches (19.3 cm) high. Perfect condition with no chips, cracks or restoration. There is a small are where the glaze has missed, noted in the photographs.

If you would like to see the photographs in a larger format or file size, which is with less compression, or you would like pictures of a particular detail please let me know.

I am based in the United Kingdom so charges made to credit cards are in GBP ( British Pounds ) and your credit card issuer automatically converts the charge to the currency of your country. Payment may also be made by direct bank transfer in GBP. I am sorry but I cannot accept a cash transfer payment by Western Union as I don’t have an office nearby.
