This celadon pot is characterized by its translucent, turquoise glaze. The front of the body features a floral and bird motif, while the reverse bears a Chinese poem. It is decorated using overglaze enamel, something that is rarely seen on celadon-glazed pots. Though likely a modern piece, the bird-and-flower motif—depicting large peonies, flowering shrubs resembling bush clover, and a bird at play—creates a refreshing impression against the celadon’s hue.
