Large Hexagonal Celadon Crackle Glaze Bottle Vase
Combining the softness of traditional style with the rigor of geometric lines, this large bottle vase, 44 cm (17.3") high, is inspired by the multifaceted forms of high Chinese ceramics. Its luminous celadon green glaze covers a faceted six-sided body (hexagonal section) that tapers into a long cylindrical neck.
Visual Impact: The Contrast of Facets and Crazing
This model creates a real visual break from the round pieces in the collection thanks to its angular architecture.
A Rhythmic Hexagonal Shape: The body of the vase is not spherical but entirely faceted into six clean sides. The vertical angles catch the light in a changing way, creating areas of shadow and sparkle that perfectly highlight the object's geometry.
The Dense "Spiderweb" Network: As seen up close in the image, the crazing forms a very tight, complex, and regular mesh. These dark lines contrast superbly with the sharp edges of the hexagonal structure, softening the rigor of its form.
The Slenderness of the Neck: The tubular neck, long and perfectly straight, extends the dynamic of the facets upwards, offering a slender and majestic silhouette 44 cm (17.3") high.

💡 The Gallerist's Advice
"Its hexagonal structure makes it the ideal candidate to break up the roundness of other temple jars. To create a striking display, pair this faceted model with a very round ginger jar (like the 24 cm model). The contrast between the broken lines of one and the generous curves of the other will instantly highlight the ceramic sculpture work."
