I really need some advice bc i have no clue about monochroms this Vase is at the moment for sale here in switzerland auction style starts at around 520 dollars.
I have known the seller for a few years , and a few months ago i had this Vase in my hands . Handeling it i can say the colour is more turning blue greyish than green, but the glacing is breathtaking just like made of glas there are no spots or imperfections , its like as if you look like into a blue sky.
The copper or brass fittings are 19 cent unfortunatly they cover the base completly . The top part is made to put a candle in.
Should i just go forward and bid? thanks for any help Martin
Without seeing the base it's a tough call. It does look very pretty.though. maybe others will be able to tell you more than I can based on the shape and color.
@johnshoe hi i did some research and its turns out to be a pearshape vase this shape whas common in the song dynasty also Seladon is common in Song dynasty ware so i can say its copy of a song pearshape vase of the 19th century... but whats there pricepoint
@weboy
Hi Martin -
Shape is called ‘yuhuchunping’, started been produced during Northern Song Dynasty but shape/proportions very different on Song pieces ...
Overall shape/proportions changed in subsequent Yuan/Ming dynasties, and then again during Qing period ...
Concur with @johnshoe, rather difficult to advise without seeing the footrim/base which would tell much bu from the images, so always subjective, possibly Qing 18/19th century. Nice colour, glaze seems evenly applied but such pieces are heavily faked ...
When handling, were there any signs of ware to glaze surfaces and did it feel to heavy/light for its size? ...
Sorry I can’t be of more help - it’s your call ...
Stuart
@ming1449 Stuart, can you explain what the weight might suggest? For example, would a Song example be heavier or lighter than a Ming, Qing, etc.?
@ming1449 dear Stuart i dont remember any scratches . I remember when handeling it the seller did presented it with great pride, and whas full of admiration for the piece . I never thougth he would sell it , thats why i whas so suprised when it poped up online. Because the glaze is so even applied , you could not see the material under the glaze leaving the impression of handeling glass maibee this impression whas fueled by the weigth of the piece , if i remeber right it whas rather heavy .
You know what iam thinking all the time ..what would i do if it whas mine would i remove the metall or leave it
bc the metal work it the clear proof that its at least 19cent rigth without it could the piece give enough information about its age ?
$500 dollars is what the vase is worth if 19th century I think the base needs to be removed it could be hiding damage or labels even a mark. With the base on your gambling and you know how that turns out the house always wins.
Hi Johnshoe -
Due to shape/proportional changes, these yuhuchuping have there own distinguish 'feel' from differing dynasties and, sometimes, different periods within such. Pieces ordered or produced for the Court will 'feel' very different from those produced for the internal/home market. Pieces made purely for export have there own 'characteristics ...
One needs to have handled/know the genuine originals to be able to differentiate between these, later copies of such made in emulation, and the modern copies/fakes ...
@webboy -
I would be slightly concerned if there was little/no indication of ware/scratches to the glaze surface? Even if 19thC, there should be some indication of ware, if only slight ...?!
My apologies, rather difficult to judge/give an impression of 'weight' due to metal mounts ...
Concur with Brian @lotusblack, without seeing the footrim/base, somewhat of a gamble ...
Stuart
@lotusblack thank you ,for youre opinion , i will pass on this one and wait for the next treasure that shows up 😎
Hi -
Just to elaborate slightly, the yuhuchupings produced at different Song kilns ie: Ru, Guan, Ding, Jun, Longquan ext all have there own characteristics, been very different to each other ...
These differences continue into the Yuan/Ming dynasties between the pieces made at the Jingdezhen and Longquan kilns, for those order/produced for the Court, Princess and elites to pieces made for the internal/export markets ...
This continues in to the Qing, although production was, mostly, centered at Jingdezhen ...
