This gourd-shape vase has a small mouth, a short neck, an upper bulb that is small in comparison to the lower one, and a rounded foot. The exterior wall is in the altar-red glaze that is bright, lustrous and even. This piece, recovered from overseas, bears a gilded-copper rim and phoenixes on the two sides of the body, which were added later. The circular base -- a gilded-copper sculpture of French origin -- is exquisite, vivid, gorgeous and elegant.

The alter-red glaze--developed from red underglaze--originated during the Yuan dynasty and matured in the Yongle reign of the Ming dynasty. Thus, it is a precious glaze. Ware in the altar-red glaze was intended for sacrificial purposes, and from that purpose the name is derived. The altar-red glaze is translated from ji hong (“祭红”, “霁红”, “积红” and “际红” which refer to the same type of glaze). Other alternative names also include "bright red,” “drunken red” and “ruby red.” It is more difficult to produce than other colored glazes. It is documented that “ruby powder is added” to produce the altar-red glaze. Thus, the altar-red glaze is also known as ruby-red glaze.

The gourd shape is characteristic of many traditional Chinese ceramic vessels. Based on some of its features, such as the intertwining tendrils and abundant seeds (in Chinese, the character for “seed” (in pinyin, zi) is homophonic with the character for “offspring”), the gourd bears auspicious meaning, such as abundance and fertility. The gourd was also a sacred object among Daoist practitioners. For centuries, it was believed that people with miraculous powers were able to use the gourd as a vehicle with which to enter the land of immortals. Thus, it was also used as a container for Daoist elixirs of immortality. This piece presents great value for the knowledgeable collector, in consideration of its plump and dignified but elegant form, its harmonious proportions, its languid lines and its solemn glaze.
