This bold statement fish motif vase is challenging to describe. It is HEAVY for its size (7 pounds, just under a foot tall) - you could probably use it to brain an intruder, but please, lift with your legs. The glaze appears to be deliberately crazed/crackled, giving it an appearance of antiquity, but I do not believe it to be more than (roughly) 25-50 years old at best.
Unlike typical blue on white pottery, this piece is blue on a light celadon background.
The bulbous body, adorned with two fish and repeating designs, leads into a narrower neck and slightly flared mouth.
It would work well as a centerpiece vase for a very large table, or a floor vase, or possibly a corner vase on a small display table. I'd love to see it displaying a dried arrangement of Chinese lanterns and money plant (perhaps bringing you a side benefit of luck and prosperity).
It's in good vintage condition with a few minor surface blemishes, and of course the (most likely intentional) crazing throughout.
WILL IT FIT ON THE TABLE:
Diameter widest: 9 1/2"
Diameter mouth: 5"
Height: 11 3/4"
Weight: already overweight, so no bundling available.
As always, don't be shy - think I've overpriced? Make an offer! Know something I've missed about a piece? Let me know! I appreciate the collective hive-mind knowledge out there and am always happy to learn.
