Subject:Chinese Celadon Crackle Glaze Vase Elephant Handles
Posted By: Hank Fri, Jun 05, 2015 IP: 67.251.6.197
This looks to be Chinese and has dark reddish brown clay as seen on base foot.The vase measures 5.5 inches tall and across foot/base measures 3 inches.
This also has a hole pressed into the underside of handles or elephant head where you can see the dark brown clay under the glaze.
The glaze has a slippery silky smooth feel to it.
I've had this over 20 years and it was bought used back then. What age might this be? I have not found any vases with this angled design or octagonal edges.

I have seen this design before, from Kangxi - Qianlong, if I remember correctly. The glaze is guan type.

There should be one with ge-type glaze at the National Palace Museum, Taipei, also.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the information and links.So this could be from 1600's to 1700's from the design and glaze ?I had a large Flambe glaze vase that was unmarked and foot looked really new,so I figured it was reproduction or just a new vase. Would new Chinese pottery and porcelain be unmarked ever today? I was thinking maybe some just use a sticker on base and can be removed easily.
