A YUE CELADON LONG NECK VASE<br/>Tang Dynasty
|
Yue ware is renowned for its celadon glaze. This long neck vase features a wide mouth and a downward sloping base. A clear division is visible where the neck meets the shoulder, which gradually flows into the body. The vase is widest close to the base. From the widest point downward, the body quickly tucks together above the base, creating a fluid and elegant curvature. The plump body together with the slim long neck produces a beautiful contrast that is pleasing to the eye. Inside the mouth, glaze is of a different tone. Hardened residual glaze is stuck to the bottom of the base. This item is in mint condition and does not appear to have any blemishes. A hint of yellow is mixed in with the green glaze, alluding to imagery of moonlight reflecting off a pond. |
