A Celadon-glazed ZHANG GONG XIANG Vase（Yuhuchun）

Elegantly potted with a flared mouth and a plump rim with a ring of ridge, the vase rises from a round foot ring and a globular body to a sloping shoulder and a slightly broadened neck; it is covered overall in celadon glaze, leaving its refined greyish white biscuit exposed at the bottom. The glaze presents a lovely light blue colour with a hint of pink and runs thicker below the belly and at the lower part of the foot ring to enhance its smooth curve; delicate crackles appear in faint orange colour, looming up and crawling over the vase.
