Description from the seller

Elegant pair of large monochrome porcelain vases characterized by a deep black glossy glaze, known as "Mirror Black" (wujin). The shape, classical in inspiration, features a slender oval body with a rounded shoulder and a cylindrical neck ending in a flat-topped lip.

The distinctive feature of these specimens lies in the glaze quality, which shows delicate brownish/olive tones at the upper edge, a sign of hand-applied glaze and high-temperature firing.
Technical Details:
• Material: hard-paste porcelain.
• Base: Unglazed bottom that reveals the ceramic mass in a warm tone, with evident circular turning marks ("spirals"), typical of mid-century artisanal production.
• Condition: In excellent condition. Protective felt pads are applied to the base to preserve its integrity.
