About the Item

A tall, cylindrical Chinese monochrome porcelain vase, made in the 1970s and finished in a refined cornflower blue glaze. The simple vertical form, often described as a spill vase, is balanced and minimal, allowing the surface treatment to take visual precedence. The glaze is enhanced with a delicate crystalline finish, forming soft, floating blooms in pale blue and periwinkle. This effect—achieved through a controlled kiln-cooling process—adds quiet movement and dimension across the glossy monochrome surface. The subtle variation in tone and pattern makes each crystalline piece unique. This vase is representative of late 20th-century Chinese studio ceramics, where traditional shapes were reinterpreted through more experimental glazing techniques. In good vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Some light crazing is visible, likely inherent to the glaze. Dimensions: Height: 23 cm Diameter: 9 cm
