This piece is a meiping-shaped porcelain vase bearing a Kangxi reign mark of the Qing dynasty, finished in a deep black glaze. The entire surface is coated in a rich, lustrous cobalt tone that subtly shifts under light, creating an elegant visual depth. A faint touch of reddish hue around the inner rim contrasts beautifully with the pure white porcelain beneath. The neatly inscribed underglaze blue mark “Da Qing Kangxi Nian Zhi” adorns the base, reflecting the refined craftsmanship and stylistic purity associated with the Jingdezhen kilns of the Qing period.
