Persimmon Oval Jar

This large tapered vase reinterprets the classic curves of traditional Chinese ceramics with simplified lines and a bright, persimmon-orange glaze. Sculpted by artisans in China's Zhejiang province, the vase has an elegant form with high shoulders that taper towards a narrowed base. The striking monochrome of the persimmon orange vase draws on a long tradition of glazing ceramics with a single, statement-making color. The persimmon is an auspicious symbol of joy in Chinese art, and this vibrant glaze brilliantly brings the fruit to life.
