Description
This pear-shaped vase sits on a flared foot with an augmented rim. The body is modestly decorated with three sets of double rings. Two pierced lugs flank the neck below a slightly enlarged mouth of similar diameter to the foot. The simple design replicates the shape of ancient bronzes which emphasizes a dignified quality. While the bluish grey glaze and the fine golden crackles of the vase imitate Guan ware of the Song dynasty, the large size and heavy proportions signify a diversion from the delicate aesthetics of Song wares.
