Lot Essay

The simple, elegant shape of this vase, with no carved decoration, is rare. A Longquan celadon pear-shaped bottle vase with similar hollow tubular handles and wide foot rim, incised with a Xuande (1426-1435) reign mark on the recessed base, in the Freer Gallery of Art, is illustrated in The World’s Great Collections: Oriental Ceramics, vol. 9, The Freer Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., Tokyo, 1981, pl. 81.
