This vase is part of the installation Qiān Jīn, featuring 4 vases inspired by ceramic glaze and the willow-leaf shaped vase. They are named after the first 4 of 10 Celestial Stems, the ancient Chinese ordinal system.
Inspired by relief patterns on Chinese vases, this vase employs a simple cable pattern, similar to those found on knitted garments.
