Description
Master artisans hand-engrave this Luqing celadon Flat Vase with a scene of Buddha figurines guanyin— the embodiment of compassion and wisdom in Chinese Buddhist tradition.
Luqing Celadon Flat Vase (Washer-Mouth Flat Display Vase)
This classic Luqing celadon flat vase, also called a washer-mouth flat display vase, is an original modern display form in Luqing celadon, featuring a short washer-style mouth, a short straight neck, a horizontally extended flattened body with broad flat-curved surfaces, rounded sides, and an inward-tapered foot. Its greatest advantage lies in the two large, flat front and back faces, which provide expansive even porcelain surfaces ideally suited to engraved porcelain work, especially figure and narrative compositions, allowing artisans to fully lay out large figure portraits and fine-brush scenes with precise knife work. The pale sky-blue glaze ground beautifully sets off the black-and-white engraved lines and partial color filling, while the celadon glaze is warm like jade, quiet, elegant, and refined. The form is steady and substantial and can be made in medium to large sizes, making it a hall display vase suitable for living room console tables, club tea rooms, study curio stands, high-end business gifts, and art collections. It is a highly popular Luqing celadon engraved display vase, and its broad faces allow double-sided engraved porcelain creation—both front and back can be composed as pictures—fully expressing the intangible cultural heritage craft of engraved porcelain.
