Introduction

A large vase with a thick, layered celadon glaze in deep green. Maker details: [to be confirmed].

Specifications

Craftsmanship

Celadon owes its green colour to a small amount of iron in the glaze, fired in a reduction (low-oxygen) atmosphere. Longquan-style celadon is known for thick, soft glazes; where the glaze is thinner, over edges and carving, the colour becomes lighter. Shade varies from firing to firing.

How to Use

Intended for display. Use the included stand or a secure wall fixing, keep away from direct sunlight and places where it could be knocked.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scourers. Do not expose to sudden temperature changes. Hand-made and hand-painted pieces vary slightly in colour, pattern and size; photos are for reference.
