         DAOGUANG SIX-CHARACTER SEAL MARK IN IRON RED AND OF
         THE PERIOD (1821-1850)
         The vase is decorated on the exterior with stylised iron-red Indian
         lotus blossoms enclosed within cartouches formed by underglaze-
         blue vines bearing green leafy tendrils, below a narrow band of
         C-scrolls around the mouth.
         15‚ in. (38.8 cm.) high
         HK$800,000-1,000,000           US$110,000-130,000
         The present lot is accompanied by a certificate of antiquity from Hong
         Kong Art Craft Merchants Association issued in 1978.
         The delightful design on the present vase is usually found on dishes
         from earlier reigns, such as a Yongzheng-marked dish decorated
         with similar iron-red Indian lotus blooms borne on leafy vines, sold at
         Christie’s New York, 22 March 2007, lot 349.
