Celadon Vase with a Dish-shaped Mouth

With fine glaze, celadon ware was the main product during the Sui dynasty (581-618). In terms of vessel shape, Sui dynasty celadon ware was developed from the style of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but with additional creations as well. This vase was evolved from the vase with dish-shaped mouth of the Northern Dynasty (386-534), but the neck was made thinner and longer, and the body expanded into an ovoid shape.
