Conservation Notes
The relatively transparent and uniform turquoise glaze, which has a dense crackle pattern throughout, covers both the interior and exterior of the vase. The carefully trimmed foot-ring reveals a dense gray paste. The glaze has been cleaned off the foot and has an uneven edge along the interior of the foot-ring. A thin layer of glaze remains on the base, beneath which are the spiraling marks of a trimming tool.
