Description:

This chrysanthemum-shaped vessel is based on dishes with a green ‘celadon’ glaze of the Yuan (1280-1368) and Ming (1368-1644) dynasty, which were exported from China to the Middle East. The shape reflects forms admired in that region and may have originated in Middle Eastern metalwork. Similar dishes were also made of lacquer and jade.

Glass, mould-blown glass with wheel-cut rim
Height: 6.0 cm, diameter: 33.5 cm
