DescriptionBottle-shaped vase, flaring lip and extending foot. Coral red glaze.Label TextThis vase is representative of how the matte iron-red enamel of the famille verte palette was often used as a low-fired overglaze, layered over a previously clearglazed and high-fired porcelain body (see white of the throat). The use of such an overglaze enamel ensured far more reliable results than high-fired red glaze alternatives.ProvenanceDuveen Brothers, New York
