Materials:porcelain
Technique:celadon-glazed
Dimensions:Height: 9.50 centimetres Width: 6 centimetres Depth: 5 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain vase with ring handles and moulded decoration beneath a green glaze. Similar to BM 1929.0722.8 but of poorer quality, this flower vase has a pear-shaped body. On either side of the neck are projecting loop handles with pendant circular rings attached to the body. Both front and back medallions contain the character ‘shou’ [longevity].

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This vase was found by Sir Percival David at the Dayao kiln in Longquan and was probably a kiln waster, because of its irregular shape and poor glaze. Another larger vase of this shape with similar decoration is in a private collection in South-east Asia. The form of the vase is derived from metal work, probably bronze.
