LARGE Antique Chinese Qing Stoneware Ge Guan Crackle Monochrome Stoneware Vase

  
C e l es ti a l N o n e s u ch. A phenomenal and quite large guan or blue ge-type vase, with long, lightning-bolt like darker crackle - sometimes referred to as'Iron Line' - set against a webbing of finer golden web of crackle - referred to as'Golden Thread'. Quite a heavily potted piece. 5 spur marks on base.

There appears to be some trace of a darkening agent around the foot-ring - a practice typical in the Qing dynasty in an attempt to recreate the look of Song ceramics. Chinese, likely Qing Dynasty, 19th century through early 20th century, possibly dating to the early Republic.
