the pear-shaped body rising from a straight foot to a slightly tapered tubular neck, covered on the exterior with a brilliant crushed-strawberry glaze draining to white from the rim and suffused throughout with a network of fine crackles, the glaze transmuting to a purple-tinged glaze around the neck with subtle spots and darker streaks around the body, the base left unglazed

A smaller vase of similar form from the collection of Professor E.T. Hall was sold at Christie's London, 7th June 2004, lot 280.
