This very fine quality vase is particularly interesting by the presence of a kiln firing defect, something rarely allowed to escape the workshop. Another piece appears to have fallen on the vase during early firing marring the glaze and distorting the form. An exceptional look into the porcelain making process. Set in a carved wood base.

Dimensions 10"d × 26"h

Condition: Excellent, minor wear consistent with age and use. less
