Celadon Ewer with Elongated Spout
Le Dynasty, 15th c. Vietnam
Height: 21cm
A stoneware ewer with bulbous body decorated with vertical ridges and sitting on a slightly splayed foot rim. There is a long, trumpet-form neck with slightly warped mouth rim. The elegantly elongated spout rises from the shoulder and is joined to the neck with a curled bridge. The handle is similarly attached and is decorated with incised cross-hatching. There is a crack about 1.5cm below the tip of the spout where it is reattached. Some spout tip restoration.
