Item Description
Exquisite 12" Chu Dau "Revival" Ceramic Vase – Light Yellow & Blue Hand-Painted Art
This stunning 12-inch vase is an authentic product of the famous Chu Dau kilns in Vietnam. Unlike standard white porcelain, this piece features the traditional light yellow / cream base color that has made Chu Dau ceramics world-famous since the 14th century.
Key Artistic Features:
• Traditional Color Palette: The warm, buttery cream/yellow glaze serves as a beautiful backdrop for the hand-painted indigo blue floral motifs.
• Signature Crackle Pattern: The surface is covered in a deliberate crackle glaze. In Chu Dau pottery, this "cracked" effect is a signature technique, often achieved using local materials like rice husk in the firing process to create a unique, webbed texture.
• Symbolic Motifs: The central body features large, detailed Peony flowers, which in Vietnamese culture symbolize prosperity and nobility. The neck and shoulders are adorned with stylized cloud and water patterns.
• Official Mark: The bottom of the vase carries the official modern Chu Dau brand mark, guaranteeing its origin from the Hai Duong revival kilns.
Condition Note:
This item is in excellent pre-owned condition. The crackled pattern is a structural part of the artistic glaze and not a result of damage. Please review the high-resolution photos for a detailed look at the texture and hand-painted variations.
