White Octagon Small Vase

The subtle faceting of this vase accentuates its tall proportion, with elegant planes of pure White Korean Porcelain. 

There is a very slight hint of blue-green in the glaze, which has only a subtle gloss.  There are a few tiny black or grey iron specks visible on the surface. The underside bears the artist's signature in cobalt underglaze.
