Antique CHINESE PORCELAIN CELADON VASE Green Floral Patterns Turtles Deer Moon

A beautiful Chinese celadon vase, done with traditional representations of a Chinese landscape.

We are pleased to present this rare and beautiful example of Chinese Celadon porcelain, done with a stunning crackled glaze and green color that so signifies the caledon style.

This vase is alive with detail. Across the vase, there are mountains and forests. Birds fly across a sky filled with clouds and the sun. One can even be found hiding in a tree Turtles play in a stream. A pair of deer frolic across a lush green field. The artist clearly took his time to make this vase detailed to the point where you see something new every time you look at it.

Celadon is a term for ceramics denoting both a type of glaze and a ware of a specific color, also called celadon. This type of ware was invented in ancient China, such as in the Zhejiang province. Celadon has since been spread to various regions in Asia, such as Northern Thailand.

Celadon glaze refers to a family of transparent glazes, many with pronounced (and sometimes accentuated) cracks in the glaze produced in a wide variety of colors, generally a green hue. Celadon glazes have such popularity and impact that pieces made with it are often referred to as "celadons."

The vase stands at 11 1/2 inches tall and is a foot at its widest. Its base diameter is 5 inches. The vase weighs 10 1/2 pounds.

Given the precision of firing Celadon pieces, this vase is truly remarkable. It is covered with the crackled glaze, but in fact has no chips or cracks that we can find.

This vase would be wonderful not only as an outstanding decoration, but also as a big curiosity and conversation piece.
