Rare 14th/16th Century Turquoise Glazed Altar Vase

A rare and unusual turquoise glazed, earthenware, gu form altar vase. Its moulded decoration depicts two dragons amongst clouds on the upper section ; on the waist are two ruyi bands and on the unglazed lower section are two cash symbols and what appears to be a double gourd. The base carries an inscription (probably later) which we have been unable to read. This item was made for the domestic market. In China turquoise glazed objects, which were fired at low temperature and were notoriously difficult to control, appear to have been used traditionally within a religious context as temple dedications and altar pieces. This item was made during the Yuan (1279-1368)or Ming dynasty(1368-1644) . Condition - the body is completely intact with no chips, cracks or restoration but there is extensive old and recent glaze loss. Size: 20.8cm (8.2inches) high.

14-16世纪稀有的松石绿釉花觚
一件罕有的不寻常松石绿釉陶花觚。其上部压模制出两条游龙戏于云彩间，腹部有两圈如意纹，底部素胎两枚铜钱纹和类似同心结或葫芦的纹饰。底足书有文字（或为后世所添），尚无法辨认。此品是为当时国内市场所作。在中国，以较难掌握的低温烧造技术制作的松石绿釉器物，在传统上似乎多用作宗教神庙内的供器或者祭器。此间约作于元代(1279-1368)或明代(1368-1644)。
品相：器身完好，无磕碰、冲缝或者修复，但是釉面有一些剥落。高20.8厘米。
