{"product_id":"early-20th-century-chinese-scalloped-vase","title":"Antique Chinese Scalloped Vase","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis small vase is a masterpiece of timeless design. This antique Chinese vase, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, is a testament to the elegant artistry of crackle glaze. The graceful, globular form is crowned with a beautiful, scalloped mouth that unfurls like a flower. The piece’s soul, however, is in its surface: a striking, large-scale network of fissures covers the serene gray-blue glaze, a revered technique that adds a beautiful roadmap of time to its classic shape. Its small, elegant handles give the piece a sense of balance and grace. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOriginally, a vessel of this quality would have been a treasured art object for a scholar’s desk or a formal cabinet, serving a decorative purpose. In a modern home, it can be a striking sculptural accent on a bookshelf or mantel, where its form and powerful color make a statement of both history and sophistication.\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: Antique\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: Porcelain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Size: 4“(D) x 6.5“(H) Top 1\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Color: Slate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Wear consistent with age \u0026amp; use, blemishes and imperfections will be present.
