Description

the body of square pear shape, rising from a short straight foot to a waisted neck with indented corners and set with a pair of lug handles, moulded to the front and back with a large peach and covered overall with a thick pale bluish-grey glaze infused with a matrix of gold and grey crackles

Condition

The vase is in very good condition with the exception of a tiny glaze chip to the middle of one of the peach panels. Please note the galze is of a slightly greener-grey tone than the catalogue illustration would suggest.
