CHINA, QING DYNASTY, 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. Another langyao vase of this form is illustrated in Masterworks of Chinese Porcelain in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1973, no. 38.
