Chinese WangBu blue and white Bottle vase in protective Zitan hardwood. Bottle vase, bulbous lower belly, a bottom-heavy body tapered, the ribbed feminine body rises naturally into a straight long neck, outward at the ovoid opening supported on short spreading foot ring. All reserved hand-painted ornamentations are rendered in clean white underglaze base color which contrasts against the dark blue fine color. The Exterior decorated with flying bird trough ruyi clouds. The glaze stopping before the foot rim, revealed the orange-creme ground, with dark-grayish firing marks. The immaculate porcelain body covered with a characteristic silky glaze, pooling on the base slightly veiling the mark. This vase rests on a hand-carved stand, set within a snug-fitting wood box, upon a carved Zitan hardwood stand, beautifully presented inside hard cushion wrapped auspicious archaistic medallion threads with grayish silk, all set within an original hardwood box. This piece displays a subtle sheen as the light ricochets across the finely exterior, glazed smooth, brilliant with a moist appearance, the finishing meticulous.The Under-base bears an artist signature markMeasurements: Height:9 7/8" Diameter:4 1/2" Box Height:14 5/8" Width:8" Depth:5 7/8"
