Small globular celadon jarlet with lobed body – Chinese, Longquan type

Small globular celadon jarlet with lobed body – Chinese

A small, globular celadon jarlet in Chinese stoneware, with a lobed, melon-shaped body, a short neck and a rolled rim. The soft, sea-green celadon glaze has a fine crackle. The unglazed foot ring was fired orange-red in the kiln, as is characteristic of Longquan-type celadon from Zhejiang province; the base shows the pale, sandy stoneware body (photo 3).

Why we chose this piece

Small but full of character: the lobes catch the light, the green is soft and calm, and the orange foot ring gives a lovely contrast. A little vase to hold in your hand.

Style and interior

Beautiful in a wabi-sabi, Japandi or classic interior, on a bookshelf, in a display cabinet or on a desk, with a single twig or flower. Also fine in a collection of Asian ceramics.
