KANGXI PERIOD (1662-1722)

The term langyao derives its name from Lang Tingji, director of the official kilns at Jingdezhen between 1705-1712, who is credited with the revival of monochrome glazes and particularly copper-red glazes.

A Kangxi langyao bottle vase of similar compressed form, but with wider neck and of slightly smaller size, from the E.T. Chow Collection, was sold at Christie's New York, 19 September 2007, lot 386.
