LONGQUAN CELADON POMEGRANATE-FORM

VASE, SHILIU ZUN

The vessel is sturdily potted with a globular body applied and
carved with a broad band of peony scroll bearing four large blooms
and arched leaves reserved on a combed ground, between a border
of upright petals rising from the foot and another of cross-hatched
leaves at the shoulders. The waisted neck is interrupted by a thick
horizontal rib carved with a band of lingzhi scroll below and a
band of stylised flowers above, with a further narrow band of
cross-hatched leaves surrounding the flat mouth rim above the
canted everted lip with a wide register of classic scroll bordered by
a band of raised bosses. The vase is covered overall with an even
translucent glaze of meadow-green tone with the exception of the
foot rim.
