So - I thought this was Sang De Beouf but am not certain as I find nothing similar to it at all. I need help! It is 14" high and about 9 1/2" at the widest point - excellent condition.

Hi Gail, I thought your first diagnosis of Sang De Beouf was quite correct, so....
I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for. The porcelain firing seems to be unique, I have nothing in reference remotely similar. I will be watching to see if someone can add more regarding this georgeous piece. Best of Luck, Jim
I too think it's enamelled over a sang de boeuf glaze and it really is beautifully decorated.
Check out this term: "Guyuexuan (Ancient Moon Studio)".

Have a look at enamels, birds, eagle, Langyao hong, sand de boeuf.
There is an article here on enamelled wares of the Republican Period.

Thanks for sharing this vase!
Hey vetraio, are you there? holler at me, Jim
Hi jwendell222!
Hi vetraio, Thought you might be interested in this. The form of the vase, while very simple, does not seem to be common. If you look at the Chinese section of marks in Gotheborg under Tong Shan (Tang Shan), Mark 1328, you will find a close match.
There is a second match under Jiaqing, Mark 593, but the shoulder is not as soft.
Haven't found this shape so far in antique or archaic references, which doesm't prove anything exept that maybe I don't have enough references. I'm working on it. Best wishes, Jim
Thanks for those references and I had a look on:

I too will keep on looking; it's almost a garlic shape. But I think the word 'globular' will get more hits on the net. My books have long gone, too!
Hi vetraio, found it. The shape is based on a Persian wine or water bottle. Ref: W.G. Gulland, ‘Chinese Porcelain Vol I’ (London 1902) Pgs 128-29, Shape 168.
Regards, Jim
Well done! Do they have a Chinese name for the form?
