Mark 'Made in the Great Qing Yongzheng Period' with a double-ring mark. The item features a constricted neck, a round, bulging body, gradually tapering towards the foot, resulting in a full and rounded form. The main decoration on the vessel's belly utilizes relief carving to sculpt a scrolling dragon motif. The entire body is coated with a fresh and elegant sky blue glaze. Sky blue glaze is a high-temperature colored glaze, evolved from celadon glaze, and was first fired during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Its hue resembles the azure blue of the sky, hence its name 'sky blue glaze.' Due to the thinner glaze application, a white effect appears on the sharp edges or rim of the vessel after firing. The foot rim is mostly covered with white glaze, and the connection between the body and glaze is neatly trimmed.
