Carved Longquan Celadon Vase, Yuan-Ming Dynasty

Potted in a balanced baluster form with a gently flared mouth and a stable foot, this vase presents a calm and harmonious silhouette. Animal-form handles holding looped rings add sculptural interest, while subtle carved floral motifs appear beneath an even jade-green celadon glaze, lending the piece a restrained elegance.
