Southern Song Dynasty Guan ware Celadon Small Meiping Vase

A bottle of celadon porcelain made in Southern Song Guan ware.
The mouth is narrow, the waist is narrow, and the torso and shoulders are rounded.
This shape was invented in the early Northern Song Dynasty and is a sake vessel.
Among these umebins, they are very small, and are called small umebins.
This type of small vessel was not used as a practical drinking vessel, but was used as a ritual vessel for ceremonies, etc., so it is a very rare item.
Generally speaking, the larger the pottery, the more valuable it is, but this item has a high value even if it is small.
Although it is small, it is very finely crafted as a ritual vessel from the Southern Song Dynasty, and the overall shape is very well-proportioned.
The bottom is very thin and sharp, and the glaze is carefully applied to the inside of the bottom.
The glaze applied to the whole is thick with a gray-green-blue glaze, and it has a beautiful graininess and a large penetration.

It is a product that gives a sense of mystery made as a ritual vessel, and it is a gem that shines not only as a sake vessel but also as a flower vase.
