Chinese Ceramic Vessel

Tall vase in speckled blue-green with a flared lip and a slim neck.

This glazed pottery vessel is from China, and dates to the 20th century. Chinese kilns have long made glazed jars and vases for household use, and shapes such as the rounded storage jar remained popular for generations. Elegant, elongated body that swells at the shoulder and tapers to a narrow foot with an unglazed ring. A mottled dark glaze with blue and green flecks covers the surface, and the mouth flares at the rim. It is 2.5 inches wide, 2.5 deep and 6.5 high.

Dressed for evening, covered in tiny stars.
