Chinese Art A lobed craquelé porcelain vase China, 20th century . . Cm 7,00 x 12,50. Bottle-shaped, in quadrangular section, with polylobate walls, rounded body surmounted by a high splayed neck and elegant craquelé olive glaze. The taste for this peculiar type of glaze is due to the spread of the splendid "Ge" production of the Song era, characterized by the conspicuous and deliberate craquelure. The resulting decorative net is called by collectors 'gold and iron' for the elegant combination of two overlapping layers: a thicker and less evident yellowish color one and a wider, deeper and more visible dark colored one.
