Chrysanthemum Underglaze Gold Leaf Ornamental Vase

Sale price$5,409.00 USD

Description

The vase features a prestigious pale yellow-green shade, reminiscent of Ming Dynasty (1368 CE - 1644 CE) gold-decorated porcelain. It elegantly displays chrysanthemum flowers, with blades of grass in soft gold leaf adding a subtle contrast against the moegi “yellow-green” shade. Its curved surface showcases a gradation of the shades of the underglaze, flowing from the slim rim to the light-reflecting curve of the body. 

The slender elegance of the vase is known as the crane-neck design. Its curved surface enhances its visual appeal, inviting viewers to appreciate the changing gradient of the underglaze shade. This gradient flows from the vase's slim, towering rim down to its gently curved, light-reflecting main body. Towards the base, shadows overlay, adding depth and complexity. The overall design of the vase achieves a harmonious balance of shades and forms, reminiscent of a musical rhythm.
