Ou ware glaze and form

The pale blue-green glaze recalls mist over the Ou River. On an understated form, its tone can shift where the glaze gathers along a curve. Ou ware belongs to Wenzhou’s early celadon tradition. This piece carries forward a Song-inspired preference for restrained decoration and balanced proportions.
