A LARGE FLAMBE-GLAZED 'SACRED MOUNTAINS' VASE, LATER QING TO REPUBLIC China, 1820-1940. The thickly potted baluster vase is covered to the flaring neck and rounded shoulder with a streaked reddish-purple and blue glaze, attractively dripping to a grayish white in the lower section, above a thinner creamy-white glaze above the foot, the base left unglazed. Provenance: British private collection. Condition: Central drilling to base restored. Minor wear and firing irregularities, one larger glaze recess. Weight: 4,373 g Dimensions: Height 42.5 cm The dripping of the flambe glaze over the thinner creamy-white ground creates a striking effect, with the negative space appearing like the peaks of a vast and beautiful mountain range, reminiscent of the verdant peaks lining the Yangtze River or the towering pillars of Zhangjiajie, where Buddhists and Daoists would pilgrimage and pay their respects. 清末民初大型窯變釉山水紋瓶 中國，1820-1940年。花瓶厚胎，長頸，口外翻，削肩，紅紫色和藍色釉料自然而下，在下部更是滴至灰白色，底部未未上釉 。 來源：英國私人收藏 品相：狀況極佳，磨損小，燒製瑕疵，釉面凹陷較大。 重量： 4,373 克 尺寸： 高 42.5 厘米
