A porcelain vessel takes a compressed globular shape glazed in vibrant apple-green. Its surface is densely mapped with an intricate network of dark cracks, with light occasionally catching along the subtle curves. The vessel tapers toward a short circular base and an inward-sloping rim, revealing a dark, brownish-red interior. This low-slung form emphasizes the aged texture of the crackle that envelops the entire exterior.
