A Chinese monochrome vase, measuring 9 ins. high and 4 1/2 ins. at its widest. The vase is made of white porcelain and has a low footrim. It rises gently from the foot to a rounded shape, then cuts back in to be joined by three rings of clay at the neck that rise into a flared mouth. The interior is covered with a fine clear glaze that shows the white body. The overall glaze is a copper-based matte red that fits into the general category of peachbloom or oxblood red.The base is glazed and has a 6 character archaic script QianLong mark. However, the mark has the 3-point trident in the zhi character that Allen notes as being incorrect for the period. The overall style of the vase, the footrim (I have added a comparison picture of this vase’s footrim and the Guangxu rim shown on p. 128 in Allen’s book), and the apochryphal reign mark all date this vase to the late 19-early 20th century at the latest.
