Richard Gien is presenting five pieces of Vietnamese ceramics. The pieces include a large round water jar (mizusashi) of linen-pressed design with an olive brown glaze over three-quarter of the body. There is also a celadon bowl with crackle glaze, with a tapered lower body and carved lotus petals on the exterior and ivory green glazed covered rice jar with lobed sides, five handles and intricately carved lotus petals on the body and lid.
