Bronze-shaped vase with celadon glaze
This vase combines the shape of an ancient bronze with the glaze of Song dynasty guan ware, recreated on a porcelain body. This combination of an interest in the antique and a desire to experiment and create something new is a fundamental part of Chinese culture. This example was made in the late Qing dynasty.

此瓶融合了遠古青銅器的造型與宋代官窯器物的釉色,並創造性地施用於瓷質胎體之上。這種將對古物的興趣與心中期望相結合,試驗並創造新品的理念,一直是中國文化的基本組成部分。此瓶屬晚清作品。
