About the Item

of bulbous form on a short splayed foot with waisted neck and strap handles, the rim of waisted form, decorated in a cream slip on a celadon ground with large sprays of leafy fronds to the front and back, the sides with interlaces of flower and split palmettes forming medallions terminating in palmettes. 34.5 cm. high Chinese celadon wares became very popular during the Safavid period, not least because it was believed that they would change colour or even break if they came into contact with poison. Many imitations were made, though by the 17th century, the decoration had taken on a distinct Persian flavour. The leafy fronds on the present lot are directly comparable to those on a ghalian in the al-Sabah Collection (inv.noLNS 11C) and a jar sold at Sotheby's, Arts of the Islamic World, 25 April 2012, lot 560. Another ghalian with similar decoration is in the Victoria Albert Museum (2508-1876).

Thai Celadon Vase, Late 19th Century
Located in New York, NY
A beautiful Celadon vase from Thailand, late 19th Century. While the golden age of Thai ceramics ended around the 15-16th Centuries, Thai artisans transmitted the craft through generations, later producing smaller numbers of pieces with different clays and glazing techniques, inspired by the original Celadon masters of Places like Si-Satchanalai or Sawankalokh. This vase is beautifully preserved, measuring approximately 6 inches in diameter and 10 inches high. Its crackled finish and beautiful green color is reminiscent of the impeccable craft of Southeast Asia ceramics.
