Est. $30,000-$45,000 Vietnamese Ming Dynasty Period Tianbai Glaze Two Sided Porcelain Fish Vase W/Black Accents - This piece depicts a pair of fish, and is covered with a tianbai (Sweet White) glaze. The eyes are accented with black, and there is also a black accent at the base. This piece was made during the Ming Dynasty period, and the tianbai glaze was developed in the Yongle reign (1403-24) in response to the emperor's preference for white porcelains. Even during the Xuande reign (1426-35) when imperial production was largely dominated by underglaze blue-decorated wares, fine tianbai white wares were highly prized by the court. Measurements (approximate): 14"H x 7"W. This piece will be accompanied by a letter of provenance from the seller.
