Description:
This vase has straight walls and long neck and is shaped like a wooden hammer, thereby earning the title "hammer vase". Since the rim is chipped, it is ground and affixed with a copper rim, whereas the original rim was supposed to be a flat flange. This shape can be found in lacquer, glass, and metalwork made in the Song Dynasty. Among ceramics this shape is made in Ding kilns and Longquan kilns, but the contour of the vases produced in these kilns are not as gentle as this vase, which is characterized by a rotund abdomen, a dropping shoulder, and a slightly waisted neck. The light blue glaze is opaque and crackled. The base reveals marks of small pegs that were used to support the vase during the firing process.
