Est. $7,000-$8,000 Qing Dynasty Blue & White Porcelain Imperial Dragon Wine Bottle (From a Vietnamese Royal Family) - This wine bottle has a globular body leading to a tall slender cylindrical neck and a flaring rim. The bottle is elaborately decorated in vivid blue underglazed with roundels of Imperial five clawed dragons amongst stylized clouds and smoke wisps. The underside of the vase bears the double circle blue underglazed mark typical of the Kangxi period, when the use of nianhao (imperial reign marks) was suspended. This piece comes from the estate of a Vietnamese Royal Family (the family now lives in the United States, and wishes to remain private as they still have relatives living in Vietnam). Measurements: 7.5"H x 4"W.
