I6-LAPIS-BLUE BOTTLE (K'ang-hsi)
Ovoid, the neck narrowing a little as it grows out of the
shoulder, thence expanding slightly to the rim. Coated
with a monochrome glaze of deep and lustrous lapis-lazuli
tone and mirror-like brilliancy.
Height, 6 inches.

I7-SMALL WHITE BOTTLE (K'ang-hsi)
Pear-shape with a low foot, and slender neck very lightly
expanding. Fine hard paste white porcelain, covered with
a brilliant glaze of snow-white and uniform in quality.
Has carved stand.
Height, 4%, inches.

IS-SMALL TURQUOISE BOTTLE (K' ang-hsi)
Squat body of ovoid contour, on a deep foot, with broadly
sloping shoulder and tubular neck. Pure white hard paste
porcelain, coated with a crackled glaze of mottled tur-
quoise-blue rather deep in tone. The neck is encircled near
the rim by a series of incised rings and tooled channels, in
which the coloring in the glaze deepens to a still darker
tone, as it does again on the circular foot. Has carved
stand.
Height, 4% inches.

I9-TURQUOISE GALIPOT (Yung Cheng)
Typical in shape, but with an unusually broad, bulbous
shoulder, and the body below contracting but slowly to a
broad foot, in place of the more commonly encountered
model of relatively narrow shoulder, more or less well-
defined waist and narrow foot. Pure white porcelain cov-
ered with a brilliantly luminous glaze of pure turquoise-
blue, truitee, even in quality throughout until it thickens
in a band about the foot, where at the same time its color
deepens and the fine fish-roe crackle is replaced by a crackle
of much bolder proportions. Under the glazed foot the im-
perial four-character seal-mark of Yung Cheng, impressed
in the paste. Ebony stand.
Height, 4Y2 inches.
