Small Multi-Necked Vase

Three miniature vases are attached to the pear-shaped body of this wide-mouthed vessel. The primary neck is elaborated by a band of triangular cutouts, which are filled with the turquoise glaze that covers the body of the vase and ends in thick drips just above the foot ring. Several aspects of the vase are atypical: it is unusually small, the mouths of the smaller vases are filled with glaze, and the ceramic fabric is uncommonly soft for fritware.
