Description
- Stoneware
solidly potted, the pear-shaped vase rising to a tall cylindrical neck supporting a galleried rim, accentuated with a series of concentric raised fillets around the body, with two further concentric rings to the neck to resemble bamboo, covered in a thick sea-green glaze with a faint crackle, the footring unglazed
Condition
The vase is in good condition with the exception of a restored rim flake to the inner edge of the rim with overpainting extending approximately 1.5cm., light glaze crazing, minor glaze frits at the rim, and a glaze hole to the lower body. It should be notd that the glaze is of a slightly richer blue-green tone than the catalogue illustration would suggest.
