Two glazed vasesLate Qing/Republic period
The first a transmutation glazed stick-neck vase, its cylindrical neck rising from a body of compressed globular form, the glaze of dark scarlet suffused with discrete patches of pale turquoise on the exterior walls and interior neck and a densely crazed greenish-white glaze covering the recessed base within the foot ring (rough foot); the second a cong-form celadon glazed porcelain vase with circular neck and foot ring on a square-sectioned body, a yin-yang roundel centering each upright wall and trigram-style bars in raised relief crossing the corners, a gray-green glaze applied everywhere except the foot pad (chips).
