题识:六字篆书刻款 拍品描述:来源 James A. Johnson旧藏 , 明尼阿波利斯 Julian Ganz伉俪珍藏, 洛杉矶 蓝理捷, 纽约, 编号4691 The shape of this elegantly potted vase follows that of the archaic bronze gu from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. This adaption, however, is molded without any of the complex motifs normally found on archaic bronzes, which accentuates the graceful contours of the vase and accentuates the rich glaze. Vases of this form were made in various glaze colors during the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns, but those applied with teadust glaze are rare. A similar Qianlong teadust-glazed gu in the National Palace Museum, is illustrated in Monochrome Porcelains of the Ch’ing Dynasty, Taipei, 1981, colour pl. 30. Another Qianlong teadust-glazed gu molded with flanges on the body is in the Baur Collection and illustrated in The Baur Collection- Chinese Ceramics, vol. 3, Geneva, 1972, pl. A395.
