A DARK BLUE MONOCHROME GLAZED DRUM-SHAPE VASE, GUANGXU PERIODPorcelain with monochrome blue glaze China, Guangxu period (1875-1908) This type of vase, made in the shape of a drum with figural lion-mask ring handles, was high in fashion during the reigns of the Qianlong and Yongzheng emperors. Therefore we also find an apocryphal Yongzheng reign mark on the underside as an homage to earlier works. The nail borders and handles lend the piece plasticity which is enhanced by the lustrous dark blue glaze.
