Celadon Phoenixtail Vase

Called a phoenix tail vase for its elegantly flared shape, this contemporary ceramic vessel displays the lustrous green glaze of celadon. Described by ancient Chinese as a “full moon dyed with spring water,” celadon ware is prized for its luminous color. Perfected over the centuries, the glaze ranges in color from blue-green to olive green, owing to the amount of iron oxide added to the glaze.
