Large White Glazed Yuhuchun-ping Bottle Vase
14th - 15th c., Vietnam
Height: 30cm
A large porcelaineous stoneware pear shaped vase sitting on a slightly flared foot-rim, the underneath of which is decorated with an iron-oxide brown coating. The long neck has an extravagantly flared mouth-rim. The potting and firing are extremely well controlled, and the creamy white surface remarkably consistent in color.
A similar piece is illustrated in “Vietnamese Ceramics; a Separate Tradition” by John Stevenson and John Guy, Avery Press, 1997. pl. 285
With repaired mouth-rim chips.
