It is called tobiseiji in Japan and was popularly fired in Ryusen kilns in the Yuan period.
In the Yuan dynasty, the wares became larger, and many heavy platters and large vases were made. This product is also large at 34.9 cm in height, and it is slightly constricted from the bottom to the waist, swells up to the torso, and has rounded shoulders.
With a thick neck, the mouth spreads gently like a trumpet.
The shoulder and neck are decorated with a string pattern, and the base of the neck is decorated with two peaches.
The vessel is very thick, and you can see it from the obliquely carved hill.
A pale, clear, powdery blue celadon glaze that dates back to the Southern Song Dynasty is thickly applied over the entire surface, and iron spots of 2 to 5 cm are arranged in a well-balanced manner on the large surface.
The pattern shows a variety of expressions depending on the difference in shades and shapes, making it a vase that can be enjoyed from any angle from 360 degrees.
