216 - A Longquan celadon zun-shaped flower vase with "Eight Trigrams" design The zun form is a shape copied from bronze vessels used as wine vessels in ancient China, and was carried on in ceramics from the Song dynasty onward as one of the forms symbolising archaistic (fanggu) taste. This piece, harmonising the archaic zun form, the mysterious bagua (eight trigrams) design, and the tranquil beauty of the celadon glaze reminiscent of jade, is a flower vase that embodies the particular refinement of Longquan celadon at its finest. H: 25cm D: 15.7cm with a chip to the rim. Wooden box China, Ming Dynasty
