Gallbladder-shaped Vase

Gallbladder-shaped Vase, 14.2 in height, 2.2cm in mouth diameter, 5.4cm in base diameter

The vase has a narrow mouth and a long neck. From under the neck, its diameter increases gradually and peaks near the round base, which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. It has a beige glaze with black and beige crackles stretching from the upper right to the lower left.

With a beautiful shape, clear glaze color and typical crackles, the vase is unique to the Song Dynasty. Such vases are extremely precious for the limited number of existing pieces.
