Hello, this item is a Korean-style celadon pottery vase, measuring 7 1/4 inches in height and 2 to 4 inches in width. The vase features a flared mouth, rounded body, and a glaze that transitions from light green at the rim and base to a darker green in the central body. The floral decoration consists of white blossoms with red centers linked by vine motifs, executed in an inlay style reminiscent of Korean sanggam techniques developed during the Goryeo Dynasty (918β1392). The smooth glaze with slight surface bumps indicates a handmade production process rather than modern industrial manufacture.
In terms of market value, genuine Goryeo celadon with inlay commands very high prices, often tens of thousands of dollars. However, most examples encountered outside museums are later reproductions or 20th-century works inspired by Goryeo styles. Based on the size, finish, and floral decoration, this vase likely belongs to the category of 20th-century Korean revival celadon, which was produced both for domestic use and for the export market. These pieces generally sell in the range of $150β$400, depending on provenance, age, and condition.
