Korean Porcelain Celadon Vase

Period:Koryo Dynasty, Korea, 10th to 12th Century. (900 to 1100 AD)

Size:This special vase stands 10 1/2" tall. The base has a diameter of 3 3/4" and the widest part of the body has a circumference of 18".

Condition: There is evidence of some expert repair to the body but no chipping around the base or lip. Restoration is not unusual in pieces of this age.

Description:This is a very desirable piece of the beautiful Korean celadon. Large in size and beautiful in proportion, the thick, softly green glaze is in remarkable condition for a piece of this size and age. Small unglazed areas and bubble spots are characteristic of this thick glazing. The tall vase is heavy in weight with thick base and sides.
