[Langyao red glaze with straight mouth bottle]
Langyao red glaze with straight mouth bottle, Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, 20.8 cm high, 6.1 cm caliber, 9.1 cm foot diameter
The bottle has a straight mouth, a long neck, a drooping belly, and a circle of feet. The whole body of the device is covered with red glaze. Because the glaze sags when fired at high temperature, the white carcass is exposed at the mouth, and the red glaze at the bottom is condensed, with thick glaze color. The outer bottom is painted with white glaze and engraved with a poem made by the Emperor Qianlong: “It is as red as the afterglow after the rain, and the fire is also slightly burned. The world’s vermilion is not made, and the western gemstones are difficult to match. The flower arrangement should make the flowers blush, and it is empty than the painting. The number of books proclaim that Yaosi is the oldest, but who knows that the Emperor Hu De is particularly respected. The Emperor Qianlong Yi Wei wrote the title in the mid-spring.” This shows that the Emperor Qianlong liked and respected the red porcelain of Langyao
There is a rectangular hole on both sides of the foot wall, which can be tied with rope. According to Zunsheng Bajian written by Ming Gaolian, “The ancient bottle with two square eyes under it was tied to several feet to wear a leather strip, so as not to lose it.” Lacing on the container is a traditional method to carry the objects without beams, ties and wrenches. It is easy and very practical to disassemble, and can also make the objects fixed in the place without being damaged
