Chinese Shiwan Crystalline Glaze Vase 14” Blue Green Art Porcelain Pottery
An exquisite Chinese Shiwan crystalline-glaze porcelain vase, standing approximately 14 inches tall, showcasing a breathtaking gradient from deep cobalt blue to seafoam green and misty white.
The surface is covered in large, radiating crystal formations, a hallmark of the crystalline firing technique perfected in the Shiwan kilns of southern China. Each crystal pattern is formed naturally in the kiln as zinc and silica react under precise temperature control, creating a one-of-a-kind glasslike bloom on every piece.
The vase's baluster form with flared lip and subtle translucence reflect both traditional Shiwan craftsmanship and a modern aesthetic suited for fine interiors or museum display. The square maker's mark beneath the base is typical of high-end 20th-century Shiwan studio works.
