Qingxi Blue-Green Glazed Ceramic Vase Collection – 4 Sculptural Pedestal & Double-Gourd Forms
Qingxi Blue-Green Glazed Ceramic Vase Collection – 4 Sculptural Pedestal & Double-Gourd Forms
Qingxi Blue-Green Glazed Ceramic Vase Collection
A four-form sculptural ceramic collection in a soft blue-green glaze with pale cream and muted yellow movement through the surface. The palette sits between celadon, aqua and mossy green, making these vases especially easy to place in calm New Chinese, tea-room, Japandi-adjacent and natural interiors.
Four Clearly Named Forms
- Double-Gourd Form: approximately W13 × H21 cm, mouth about 7.5 cm.
- Round Pedestal Form: approximately W16 × H20 cm, mouth about 8 cm.
- Tall-Neck Round Form: approximately W14 × H26 cm, mouth about 8 cm.
- Column Pedestal Form: approximately W13 × H32 cm, mouth about 8 cm.
Surface & Craft Character
The glaze uses layered blue-green, cream and pale ochre tones rather than one flat colour. Across the curved bodies, those colours pool and shift, which gives each silhouette more depth and makes the surface feel softer than a high-contrast painted vase.
The pedestal bases lift each form visually above the tabletop. The Double-Gourd and Round Pedestal styles feel compact and sculptural, while the Tall-Neck and Column forms create stronger vertical rhythm for branches and taller arrangements.
Celadon Palette & Chinese Ceramic Context
Soft green and blue-green ceramic glazes have a long place in Chinese ceramic history, especially through celadon traditions that prized quiet colour, tonal variation and the interaction between glaze and form. Contemporary blue-green decorative ceramics continue that calmer visual language while using more expressive colour movement suited to modern interiors.
The Double-Gourd silhouette also has deep roots in Chinese decorative art and is widely associated with longevity, protection and abundance. Pedestal and tall-neck forms, meanwhile, create the kind of balanced vertical proportion often used in scholar-style and tea-room displays.
How to Style in a New Chinese Interior
Use Dark Timber
Place the vase on walnut, dark elm, smoked oak or black lacquer. The muted glaze becomes richer against a dark background without losing its calm character.
Choose Light Branches
White flowering branches, magnolia-style stems, plum-blossom-style branches, eucalyptus-style greenery and airy seasonal flowers all work beautifully with the blue-green palette.
Build a Three-Form Group
Use the Column Pedestal as the tall anchor, the Round Pedestal as the medium form and the Double-Gourd as the low sculptural accent. Stagger them rather than lining them up.
Keep the Palette Quiet
Pair with cream stone, linen, warm wood, black iron and a small amount of brass. Avoid introducing too many competing bright colours.
Room Placement
The Double-Gourd and Round Pedestal forms are ideal for shelves, desks and tea cabinets. The Tall-Neck and Column Pedestal forms work better on consoles, sideboards and longer low cabinets where their height can anchor the composition.
Gift Guide
The softer palette makes this collection easy to gift when the recipient's exact decor colours are unknown. Double-Gourd is especially suitable for housewarmings and auspicious gifting, while the taller forms make stronger wedding, anniversary and milestone gifts.
Care
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry promptly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and sudden impacts. Support the ceramic body from underneath when moving the vase.
