Scaling up to a masterful level with this monumental jar, standing at 86 cm in height. A centerpiece for the floor or for display, it echoes the noble lines of palace vases from the Asian imperial tradition. Its celadon green glazed surface boasts a hypnotically fine network of cracks, crowned by its large dome with a lotus bud finial. An art object with a strong scenic presence, ideal for structuring large spaces, prestigious entrance halls, or flanking an opening.

Visual Impact: A Royal Sculptural Presence

The large format transforms the dynamic of this art ceramic.

Palatial Proportions: Its generous dimensions (86 x 40 cm) give it the stature of vases that traditionally adorned palaces or grand temple altars. Its silhouette, more slender and corpulent, instantly catches the light of the gallery.

The Depth of Celadon: On such a surface, the celadon color — a subtle, soft, and fresh water green — takes on its full dimension. The brilliant enamel highlights the pleats and curves of the vase, while the dense network of cracks adorns the piece like a textured second skin.

A Monumental Lid: The upper dome also gains in grandeur, asserting its role as a royal cap with its well-defined, sculpted lotus bud finial, a timeless symbol of cultural and spiritual elevation.

💡 Gallerist's Tip

"A piece 86 cm in height is not displayed in the same way as a 54 cm model. This one needs to be placed directly on the floor, ideally in a corner of a room to soften perspectives, or to welcome visitors on either side of a majestic double door. For a "Wow" effect in your gallery, you can also place it on a very low plinth of raw wood or waxed concrete: this will isolate it from the floor while maintaining its dominant and museum-like posture."
