Chinese Ceramic Vase

A silver vase with a long throat and a body that holds the whole room in its reflection.

This vase is from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, China, is contemporary, and is made of chromed porcelain. Jingdezhen is long known for its porcelain, and the long-necked, round-bellied vase is one of the classic shapes made there. This one has a tall, narrow neck and a wide, rounded belly with a slightly flattened base. Its mirrored chrome finish shifts between bright silver and dark, near-black reflections. The rim is plain and open, with no handles or decoration.

All shine, no clutter.
