Description
- ceramic
la panse de forme cylindrique surmontée d'un long col droit se terminant par de larges bords plats, recouvert d'une belle glaçure céladon pâle ; éclat au pied
Provenance
From a Japanese Collection.
Condition
There is a small chip (1 cm) inside the footrim, a tiny flaw in the glaze to the mouth rim (showing on the photo in the catalogue) and a pin prick burst air bubble below the top rim, but overall the bottle is in very good condition. The upper part is slightly sagging/leaning to one side. The actual colour is of a darker celadon tone than the illustration would suggest in the catalogue. The Japanese wood box is in good condition.
