Green wares have been prized in China since long before blue and white took hold, and this rounded Ming-style piece from Legend of Asia carries that lineage forward. A soft celadon glaze pools over the plump body and breaks into a fine crackle glaze web that catches light from every angle, while a low domed lid finishes the ming jar profile. The lidded jar is compact accent decor, right at home on a bookcase beside stacked volumes, on a mantel, or on a desk. The porcelain jar is thrown, glazed and fired by hand, so each green jar emerges with a crackle pattern that belongs to it alone. As a celadon jar it brings color without pattern, and it groups beautifully with a blue ginger jar, a taller temple jar or other collected asian decor.
Charming jar that complements 2 others that I purchased from Wayfair. Colors blended together perfectly. It is more of a pale blue than green celadon color and exactly the color I needed.. John. Houston, TX. Sat Aug 26 2023
