Small vase 1798 - 1902

This pair of small vases, dating from 1798 to 1902, exemplifies the artistry of Chinese ceramics during the Qing Dynasty. They are made of porcelain and are glazed in a rich, reddish-brown hue known as sang de boeuf, a color achieved through copper oxide. The glaze creates a subtle, luminous effect and displays a unique variation in tone, adding depth and texture. The vases, measuring just 3 1/2 inches tall, are a testament to the delicate and refined craftsmanship that characterized this period.
