Item Details
Description
A CIZHOU WHITE VASE WITH BLACK PRUNUS PATTERNS
Song Dynasty
Prunus vases were mainly used as wine vessels or flower vases during the Song and Liao dynasties. The vase was named after a prunus blossom because only prunus branches could fit through its narrow mouth. This particular vase features a squat umbrellashaped mouth. Four thick black lines are painted horizontally around the body, dividing the vase into three sections. The shoulder and lower body feature identical leaf patterns, creating a symmetrical composition. The center is decorated with patterns of peonies. Elliptical in shape, the center of mass for this vase lies relatively high. To counterbalance this, the base is molded from a thicker layer of clay. Bottom of the base is unglazed. This piece exudes a masculine vigor.
