Description

This refined Double-Loop Handled Vase with ‘Hundred Treasures’ Motif captures the very essence of celadon glazing. Its lustrous Meiziqing (plum-green) surface shimmers like spring water in gentle motion, with a soft, jade-like translucence that embodies the Eastern aesthetic ideal of “softness and subtlety.”

The vase’s form draws inspiration from the auspicious motif of “Baicai” (cabbage / homophonous with “Hundred Wealth”), symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. The body flows like unfolding cabbage leaves, and the delicately undulating ridges capture both the freshness of the vegetable and the refinement of ceramic artistry. The vessel itself becomes a bearer of blessing, integrating the wishes of wealth, abundance, and well-being into its very shape.

On either side, the double-loop handles demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship. Resembling jewels lightly held, the loops hang gracefully, adding a sense of movement to the otherwise static form. This design bridges the solemn elegance of traditional ritual vessels with the refined beauty of decorative art, perfectly illustrating the artisan’s mastery of form, rhythm, and aesthetic harmony.

Functionally, the vase serves as a graceful display piece in a living room, study, or ceremonial setting. Its serene celadon glaze harmonizes with interior spaces, while the ‘Hundred Treasures’ motif conveys auspicious blessings. Culturally, it integrates folk symbolism with refined ceramic technique, offering a living expression of Eastern aesthetic philosophy in contemporary life.

This Double-Loop Handled Vase with ‘Hundred Treasures’ Motif is both an object of beauty and a cultural emblem, bridging traditional symbolism, refined craftsmanship, and contemporary display in a single elegant work.
