Each similarly fashioned of tapered cylindrical form raised on a narrow foot and carved with abstracted leaf-form petals under a main diaper banded panel of free-form flowers set off by a narrow whorl band at the shoulders and a short waisted neck, covered overall with a brilliant celadon glaze stopping short of the foot burnt orange in the firing. 9 and 8 3/4in (22.8 and 22.2cm) high. Estimate US$ 3,000 - 5,000 (€2,200 - 3,700)
