Description: A fine Korean Celadon Vase, fashioned in traditional Meiping style, probably of Early 1900s manufacture.

This classic Celadon vase is modeled of bottle form with slightly outward turned rim, long neck, tapering to a wide lower body and shallow foot rim. The perfectly glazed vase exhibits a heavy crazed light-green glazed surface, with a lustrous sheen, while exposing the unglazed natural clay bisque at the base. The base bares the hand-written potters mark along with a red seal mark.
