This is the second piece of the group of three excellent Celadon pieces ( item # 895018 ) This rare Bird-feeder is excellent because of its perfect potted shape, and because of the superb surface of its glaze. In Indonesia this best of the best of Celadon glaze surface is called " Glazir- Sutera " ( Silk - glaze ) or " Glazir Kulit Bawang " ( Onion-skin-glaze ) Concerning the clay ( paste ) of this piece it is to mention that there are so many different clays within the Longquan kiln complex and so many different clay colors.
