Ice Cracks Vase
Our Collections

I liked chinaware, especially those china vases. I collected a number of china vases.

The following vase was recently bought from a secondhand shop.

The vase had the ice cracks pattern. I ever bought a light green vase with that pattern and I loved it very much. I since then was attracted by the ice cracks.

The painting on the vase was simple. It was pleasing to my eyes. It made me feel elegant.

When looking into the vase, we could see the ice cracks pattern clearly. It took me to the Land of Peace I missed for years. All peace with all men.

I usually bought china vases made in Jingde City of China. Sometimes I might get some china wares which were made in Japan and England. This ice cracks vase should be made in China. But when I looked at the base, there was no seal printed. There was engraved with a Chinese word 「官」. The word means government official. Was it made in Jingde City?
