Description
a pair; the bulbous body of the vase sits on a rectangular, convex foot and rises elegantly to a long, narrow neck. Two opposite sides of the neck are decorated with prunus twigs with blossoms and buds. The neck has a hint of eyelets and two scroll-like ornaments protruding from the neck. The medium-hard body of grey-red colour is covered with a leaf-green lead oxide glaze. The glaze is almost completely iridescent silver due to storage in moist earth. Flowers, scroll ornaments and vase rim in yellowish glaze.
