This melon-shaped celadon vase featuring the eight-petal flower mouth and incised parallel lines on the neck displays the apex of beauty in simplicity expressed in smooth curves and symmetrical body form. The gray-blue color coming through the soft sheen of the clear green glaze is the perfect example of celadon color. The full volume of the body, free from garish decoration, is in perfect harmony with the foot in the shape of a pleated skirt, emitting a rhythmic yet refined air.
