Subject:Shape of Chinese vase
Posted By: Michael O Wed, Aug 12, 2015 IP: 203.126.109.58 I had been researching for the name of this shape of vase but without success. Can any one of the Forum experts help? With much appreciation, thank you! |

Posted By: rat Wed, Aug 12, 2015 Perhaps Japanese rather than Chinese, the shape based on a gourd/calabash but I'm not sure of the terminology. |
