Glaze does all the decorating on this piece. Legend of Asia fires a crystalline formula that blooms into pale radiating flecks as the kiln cools, so the surface of this white vase shifts between pearl, cream and faint silver depending on the light. The rounded pear vase silhouette, wide at the base and drawn into a short neck, gives the shell glaze plenty of room to spread. It is a practical table vase for a nightstand, powder room or dining table, and it holds water for fresh cut stems. Each porcelain vase is hand made and high fired in southern China, and because crystal glaze grows unpredictably, no two pieces bloom the same way. As a neutral accent vase it settles easily into chinoiserie decor, coastal interiors or traditional asian decor.
