All auctions / Asian Art / Qing Porcelain Hu Vase - Sang de Boeuf w/ Stag Handles
East Asia, China, Qing Dynasty, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A refined porcelain hu vase enveloped in a deep sang de boeuf (ox blood) glaze, its surface shimmering with a rich, variegated crimson that pools darker around the base and rim. The form is elegantly swollen at the body, tapering gracefully to a short foot ring. Two handles, modeled as the heads of stags with alert eyes and branching antlers, emerge from the shoulders, their naturalistic forms providing a striking contrast to the smooth planes of the vessel. The ox blood glaze, also known as sang de boeuf, became a hallmark of Qing ceramic artistry, admired for its lustrous depth and subtle tonal variations achieved through copper-red glazing techniques. Symbolically, the stag was associated with longevity and prosperity in Chinese culture, a fitting motif for a vessel of this type. Size: 5.5" Diameter x 6.5" H (14 cm x 16.5 cm) This vase exemplifies the technical mastery and aesthetic sophistication of Qing porcelain, marrying symbolic form and vibrant glaze in a piece that resonates with both elegance and auspicious meaning.
