14” Chinese Oxblood Flambé Glaze Vase w/ Handles Crackle Base Qing Style Mark

A striking 14-inch Chinese flambé glaze vase featuring a rich oxblood red glaze (Langyao hong) that transitions fluidly into deep plum and olive tones under high-fired reduction. The form includes a pair of branch-form handles, referencing Qing dynasty ritual vessel shapes.

The glaze exhibits the signature crackled surface and tonal "teardrop" effect typical of the flambé technique, prized for its unpredictable color flow and glassy depth. The oval foot bears a four-character apocryphal reign mark in underglaze blue, applied in homage to imperial wares of the late Qing period.
