A Rare Blue-Glazed ''Double-Gourd'' Vase
Qing Dynasty, Daoguang Mark and of the Period (1821–1850)
This exceptional piece is a classic example of monochrome porcelain, perfectly scaled as a cabinet size vessel.
Form & Symbolism: The vase is elegantly potted in the auspicious ''double-gourd'' (Hulu) form, a shape strongly associated with longevity, wealth, and prosperity (Fulu).
Glaze: Covered overall in a rich, dark navy blue monochrome glaze, known historically as ''Sacrificial Blue'' (Jilan). The dense, even colour and high lustre are hallmarks of Imperial quality.
Mark: The base is inscribed with the critically important Imperial six-character seal mark of the Daoguang Emperor (1821–1850) in underglaze blue, clearly enclosed within a double-circle, a convention signifying high-quality production from the kilns at Jingdezhen.
Condition: Excellent antique condition, with the glaze neatly stopped above the foot ring, revealing a white glazed base.
Dimensions: 16 cm
... (6.3 inches) high.
A truly rare and desirable piece for the discerning collector of Qing Dynasty ceramics.
The inclusion of ''clearly enclosed within a double-circle'' adds technical authenticity and appeal to expert collectors.
