Vase
This octagonal-fluted vase reflects a cycle of artistic exchange across media, regions, and time periods. Realized using modern European glass technology, the design draws inspiration from ninth-century Yue celadon wares. These early Chinese vessels were believed to have been influenced by imported glass objects from Central and West Asia.
