About MeA Limoges porcelain softly squeezed bottle of cylindrical form with prominent shoulder rising to a narrow and straight neck with irregular rim.
Glazed with pale green celadon crackle glaze with tones of pink over the shoulder edge and base of neck. Crackle glaze is a decorative technique of deliberately introducing numerous minute surface cracks which originated in China. Celadon also came from the Far East and is frequently found in shades of pale green and pale blue, the colour changing depending on the quantity of iron oxide added to the glaze before it is fired.
