Description
This auction is for a small, beautiful vintage Chinese celadon porcelain vase with raised white slip floral decorations.There are exquisite and detailed white raised slip decorations of flowers on each side of the vase. The flowers appear to be crysanthemums which are symbols of longevity and virtue in Chinese culture. The decorations rise from near the bottom of the vase into the neck. The inside of the vase is white porcelain.
The vase is marked and was possibly made in mid-20th century (1950 - 1970).
Slip porcelain is made by using finely grained particles sorted from clay by soaking it in water. The fine grained clay results in a finer surface on the porcelain. This technique was one of the earliest in the development of Chinese ceramics and was
particularly popular in the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279)
. Slip decorations are one of the finest decorations used by Chinese artisans. Slip porcelain is difficult to find and highly prized by collectors.
A vintage Chinese wooden open work display stand on three legs is included in the auction but is not original to the vase. The elevated, decorative stand displays the slip vase beautifully. The stain on the stand is a dark brown and there are three carved feet. The stand is in excellent vintage condition with expected wear. There no repairs, missing pieces, cracks or damage to the stand.
The celadon slip porcelain vase is in excellent vintage condition with expected normal wear. There could be minor surface scratches. I could not find any chips, cracks, hairlines, repairs or damage to the vase.
