Several circumventing grooves however, suggest a more modern age. It was done in a brilliant purple glaze over a robin egg blue background glaze. The bubbling and bursting effects during the firing renders the surface an artistic spotting effect. The color pallet recalls the Classic Jun Yao in China yet the glaze effect appears more related to JianYao. Upon closer inspection, the glaze was likely applied in a dipping method, as the slight dripping can be seen on the top half of the vase. Not signed but we think it was made toward the end of 19th century. See less
