Porcelain with white and black glaze and golden-brown speckles China, 18th – 19th century, six-character Kangxi mark on the bottom and possibly of the period (1662-1722) The black enamel is applied over the white glaze on the exterior and thinning to a dark brown near the rim. Golden-brown speckles are found allover the vase, yet the most interesting feature are the “secret decorations”, only visible at closer inspection. Blooming flowers and birds can be detected amidst a picturesque nature setting.
