Vase w/ ridges

Art Deco Winged Vase
The glaze features matte blues and greens. The handles are a tribute to Art Deco and are for decorative effect rather than functionality. The matte surface was produced using Rising Sky's experimental MXRB glaze airbrushed onto a white background. 9 1/2 inches tall with 12 1/2 inch diameter opening measured across the 'wings'.

Northern Song Porcelain Example
This particular piece was made during China's Song Dynasty (960-1279 CE) and is a prime example of its porcelain vases. Both the Song and Yuan were famous for its porcelain and its unique kilns. The thing that stood out to me the most about this pottery was its vibrant green color (especially since it was made from over 700 years ago) and its "soft" flower design. There wasn't any description on how large this piece is but looks to be able to fit in one's hand. The entire piece is very smooth and doesn't appear to have taken much damage.
