Longquan Celadon Vase with Bamboo Shoots Design

A celadon bottle made in Longquan kiln.
It is difficult to identify the age of this item, but it has a strong blue color and resembles Longquan celadon from the Southern Song Dynasty.
It has a body that bulges from the waist to the bottom and a thick, long cylindrical neck.
A line pattern runs from the neck to the body.
Its shape resembles a bamboo shoot.
The number of lines is common in Longquan ware, with 3 lines on the torso, 2 lines on the shoulders, and 2 lines on the neck.
It is a composition that the balance of the line against the thickness looks very beautiful.

This is a phenomenon that can hardly be seen in modern electric kettles.

It is a beautiful celadon bottle with almost no crackle-glazing, and the pattern of the rim and band stands out depending on the shade of the glaze.

There is no conspicuous flaws.It has good luster throughout and is in good condition.
