This is a pear-shaped porcelain vase with a bright yellow glaze covering the exterior surface, while the interior and mouth rim are finished in white glaze. The base bears a six-character underglaze blue mark that reads "Da Qing Kangxi Nian Zhi" (Made in the Great Qing Dynasty during the Kangxi period). A collector’s label marked “E BYRANKEL COLLECTION” is affixed to the base. The glaze appears evenly applied and glossy, with a smooth surface. The foot rim is unglazed, exposing the fine white porcelain body.
