45-ApPLE-GREEN BOTTLE (K'ang-hsi)
Globular-ovoidal body, with a tubular neck lightly ex-
panding toward the rim. Dense white porcelain covered
with an apple-green glaze of even note and delicate tone,
characteristically crackled throughout. The glaze has a
soft, dull luster, and near the foot reveals a metallic irides-
ence. Interior of the neck and under portion of the foot
coated with a gray-white crackled glaze. Ebony stand.
Height, 6 inches.

46-CAMELLIA-LEAF GREEN VASE (K'ang-hsi)
Ovoid body on a bold foot, with steeply-sloping shoulder
running into a full neck, and spreading lip; and in perfect
condition, having escaped even the too-frequently found
scratches. Sonorous white porcelain coated with a rich and
brilliant glaze in the hue of the camellia-leaf, uniform in
tone throughout, and with a minute, hair-line crackle all-
pervading. Both glaze and crackle continued underneath
the foot and on the interior of the neck. Has teakwood
stand.
Height, SY4 inches.

47-TURQUOISE-BLUE VASE (Ch'ien-lung)
Oviform, or inverted pear-shape, with a spreading convex
foot and a short, wide, constricted neck, the expanding lip
slightly thickened and definitely molded. The brilliant
glaze is a rich and deep turquoise-blue, and extends well into
the interior. It is crackled throughout, the crackle about
the shoulder and neck being rather fine, while as it ap-
proaches the foot its proportions enlarge to a bold mono-
chrome-mosaic, the hue of the glaze slightly deepening in
effect at the same time, owing to the greater boldness of the
crackle lines. The foot itself is encircled by a ring of
very deep color where the glaze thickens. Teakwood stand
inlaid with silver wire in ju-i heads and T-fret.
Height, 6 inches.
