Longquan Kiln Double Fish Ear Vase

Click the right float to log in and view price

This piece is a Longquan celadon vase with double fish handles, covered overall in a lustrous celadon glaze of tranquil and refined hue. The body is well-potted with firm, dense clay; the rounded belly rises smoothly to the shoulders, where a pair of symmetrically arranged fish-shaped handles are applied. The fish ornaments are rendered with concise yet vivid modelling, symbolizing “abundance year after year,” a traditional auspicious motif frequently seen in Longquan ware since the Southern Song period. The vessel’s contours expand and contract with natural grace, its neck rising in a slender, upright form before narrowing elegantly to the foot. Minute crackles appear on the glaze surface—an expected feature produced during high-temperature firing in Longquan kilns. The shape, glaze, and body all demonstrate stylistic characteristics consistent with the period. Vases of this type were typically used as refined display pieces in scholars’ studios or domestic halls, signifying the owner’s cultivated taste and prosperity.

本品为龙泉窑双鱼耳瓶一件，通体施青釉，色泽清润凝静，胎体坚致。瓶腹圆硕，肩部对称置双鱼耳，鱼形饰件刻划简练而神态生动，寓意“连年有余”，为南宋以来龙泉青瓷器型中的吉祥制式。其腹部线条收放自然，颈部挺拔，至圈足处收束稳妥。釉面微显开片，乃龙泉窑高温烧造之常态。胎、釉、器形皆呈时代典型风貌。此类双鱼耳瓶原多作陈设雅器，或用于文房、厅堂，示主家清雅富贵之意。

Longquan Celadon Vase with Double Fish Handles

Since the Southern Song dynasty, Longquan celadon wares have been exported widely and cherished by both court and common households. The motif of paired fish is a traditional emblem of harmony, wealth, and perpetual abundance; thus vessels bearing this decoration often served ceremonial or decorative purposes. Modest in size, this vase is well suited for display on a desk, table, or shelf. Its celadon glaze is smooth and translucent like rippling water, embodying the celebrated “sky after rain” aesthetic that defines the finest Longquan celadon.
