Chinese Ceramic Vessel

Tall white vase with four tiny loops on its neck and an unglazed foot.

This glazed pottery vessel from Jingdezhen is from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, China, and is contemporary. Jingdezhen is the long-established ceramic center of Jiangxi Province, and many of its workshops today still follow traditional methods of shaping and firing. Elongated pear-shaped vase narrowing to the base, with a cup-like mouth and four small looped handles at the neck. The creamy glaze has fine crazing, and the bare ring at the bottom shows plain buff clay. It is 18.5 inches high and 8 in diameter.

Pale, tall, and unbothered by its bare feet.
