A RARE LONGQUAN CELADON OPENWORK PEAR-SHAPED DOUBLE VASE
MING DYNASTY, CIRCA 1450-1550
The flattened, pear-shaped outer body surrounds an inner tubular body and has an openwork design of peony and camellia rising from rocks on either side of a shou character on one side and pomegranate and chrysanthemum rising from waves to flank a fu character on the reverse, below a band of key fret at the base of the neck which is relief-decorated with overlapping upright leaves that rise to the underside of the everted, quadrilobed rim, and is flanked by a pair of dragon-headed loop handles suspending loose rings. The vase is covered overall with a glaze of slightly greyish olive-green color.

Longquan vases of this type, with an openwork body enclosing an inner body, appear to be quite rare. A pear-shaped bottle vase of this type, dated c. 1522-1620, is illustrated by J. Harrison-Hall in Catalogue of Late Yuan and Ming Ceramics in the British Museum, London, 2001, pp. 475-76, no. 16:35. Also illustrated is a Longquan celadon vase of the same shape, with similar handles and similar decoration, which is not in openwork, p. 469, no. 16:18, where it is dated c. 1450-1550.
