[Jingdezhen kiln blue-and-white glaze carved plum vase]

Jingdezhen kiln blue-and-white glaze carved plum vase, 26.6cm high, 5cm caliber, 8.5cm foot diameter
The small mouth of the bottle is out of the edge, with a short neck, a smooth shoulder, a gradual contraction under the shoulder, and a full inner circle. The whole body is painted with green and white glaze, and the belly is carved with flowers
The shape of this plum vase is slightly thicker and shorter than the typical slender plum vase in the Song Dynasty. The carved patterns are indistinct on the uniform blue and white glazed surface, and the blue and white are matched, elegant and quiet. The celadon and white glaze porcelain of Jingdezhen kiln is pure white and its sound is crisp. Therefore, some experts believe that the so-called “green as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a chime” in the legendary evaluation of “firewood kiln” may refer to this kind of celadon and white glaze
The blue-and-white porcelain of the Song Dynasty mainly consisted of plates and bowls, and the vases were less handed down, so the plum vases became more and more precious.
