Handmade Yunnan Ceramic Vase – Red Crystalline Glaze Artisan Pottery
Rim Detail
A thickened, rounded rim frames the opening with a soft, deliberate curve, giving the vessel a sense of weight and control. Around the neck, the red crystalline glaze gathers more densely, forming a subtle transition where deep tones meet lighter speckled textures.
Form & Proportion
Compact in scale yet refined in presence, this miniature vase stands at 10 cm in height with a narrow 2 cm opening and a gently rounded body measuring approximately 5 cm at its widest point. Weighing around 80 grams, its lightweight form makes it ideal for decorative use. The silhouette expands softly before tapering into a defined base, while the red glaze transitions across the surface, enhancing the curvature through subtle variations in tone and light.
Glaze Texture
Across the surface, the glaze reveals a fine crystalline pattern — countless tiny speckles suspended within the red field. Under high-temperature firing, these textures emerge unpredictably, giving the piece a layered, almost mineral-like depth.
