Unusual Antique Chinese oxblood red (sang de boef or Langyao hong) porcelain bottle vase mounted as a table lamp
Heavily potted ovoid body set on a slightly flared foot base and extending over a raised borderline to a tall and elegantly recessed neck ending with a spreading mouth rim, overall decorated with a deep red tone covered with a network of transparent crackle glaze fading distinctively to the mouth area, after Kangxi style, 19th century, in overall excellent condition with minor surface wear
The vase is mounted on a wood base and with a double-socket fixture, lamp tested in working condition; no shade is included in the sale.
Approx. 16 in. high (vase only), 30 1/2 in. high (to the top of metal finial)
Acquired from a New York City family
*Chinese oxblood or Langyao hong glaze: Qing dynasty thick and vitreous deep bright red glaze, often featuring crackle or thick drops around the foot, turning red due to its copper content when fired in a reducing atmosphere. Developed at the Kangxi imperial kilns at Jingdezhen, under the supervision of Lang Tingji (1663-1715) during the period from the 44th to the 51st year (1705-1712) of the Kangxi reign (1662-1722) of the Qing dynasty. The Langyao hong and its red monochrome variations appear to have been attempts directed at recreating the lost formula of the famous Ming dynasty Xuande period (1426-35) monochrome red. The different outcomes are known under many different names depending on their characteristics. Langyao hong pieces are present in the Palace Museum collection.
