Chartreuse Bottle Form Vase A Chinese ceramic vase, specifically a type known as a Ge-type turquoise crackle-glazed vase. Ge Ware: This type of ceramic is renowned for its distinctive crackled glaze, which is a key characteristic of Ge ware, one of the "Five Great Kilns" of the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD). Form: The vase's bottle-form shape, with its slightly flared rim, straight neck that broadens at the ends, bottom-heavy body, and short foot ring, is characteristic of a yuhuchun vase, which gained popularity during the Song dynasty and was originally used as a wine vessel. Crackle Glaze: The intricate network of cracks in the glaze, often referred to as "ice crackles" or "fish-roe crackles," is a highly prized aesthetic feature of Ge ware. Color: The turquoise color is achieved through specific glazes and firing techniques, often containing iron oxides that react during firing to produce these characteristic hues. Over all a charming vase, and I just love the color! A perfect bud vase for that straggling zinnia or rose this summer!
