    Hi!.....I hope everyone is doing well....This is one of my recent Estate sale purchases....its a Chinese vase ...I'm guessing from the late 1800's.. ....its approx. 17 in ht...light bluish color with a Cobalt design....I bought it because it had what at first glance I thought was a carp....but then at a closer look I discovered it was several animals...the head looks like a fish with horns and a mouth of a dragon?...with the body of a horse?....I thought it was a Luduan....but the body was not muscular as in the pics I had seen before.....someone told me that it was another Chinese mythological creature called a Qilin.....

    1. apostata apostata, 3 years ago
      1 celadon ground
      2 foliate shallow incised rim
      3 qilin ( on steroids or suffering from boulimia or hydrocephalus
      4 peach garlands or pomegranades garlands without the seeds
      5 narrow down the cross hatch and dots on the belly on the qilin according the theory they are mostly guanghu ( or run out commited)
      6 glazing consistent ( the popping of the glazing on the bottom )
      7 design is strange normally you got the qilin versus the dragon for metaphorical reasons ( heaven versus earth )

      but now is the opposite unknown to me , actually i should expect Babao-Bagua design -symbols, but lack of skill , i only know this symbol from precious table design

      quality mediocre , but still some value left

      best regards Waki

      the main probleme of the piece is the abscence of the browning of the rim on front , because the spread could linger to early 20ct

      stick to my opinion we have to upgrade a bit because of the chimera, it is not a boring scene, crosshatch and dots are sufficient to at least an guangxu quality 19 criteria century , it is real frotte , some damage, you got compensation here, i learned to appriciate this, cant discuss numbers but boring celadons will do a few hunderds ,
