Ceramic vase with celadon glaze, “Flowers,” Yuan dynasty

Pear-shaped porcelain vase with a slender conical neck. The entire surface is covered with a delicate pale celadon green glaze, over which a network of fine crackling extends. Under the glaze, it is decorated with subtly incised floral scroll motifs. The sturdy, unglazed foot reveals the color of the ceramic paste.
