Longquan celadon gall bladder vaseThis Song Dynasty Longquan "gallbladder" vase features a classic form—a straight neck, full shoulders, and a plump, rounded belly resembling a suspended gallbladder, with smooth and elegant lines. The entire piece is covered in a plum-green glaze, lush and lustrous, with a texture as thick as congealed fat and a subdued sheen. The glaze surface is filled with golden threads and iron-wire crackles, interwoven like cicada wings, naturally formed and enhanced by the passage of time. The clay body is fine and dense, with the unglazed ring foot revealing a pale grayish-white tone. Combining the refined elegance of Longquan ware's "thousand peaks of emerald green" with the minimalist aesthetic of the Song Dynasty, this vase exudes dignified serenity, making it an exceptional object for scholarly appreciation.
