When looking for a ceramic vase with great value for money, avoid cheap options—premium pieces can be found for under 100 yuan.
First, let's examine the glaze. Inferior vases exhibit rough glaze surfaces with visible bubbles and micro-pores, appearing dull and lifeless with uneven luster, giving an overall cheap impression. High-quality vases feature smooth, fine glaze surfaces with soft reflections and pure colors.
Secondly, attention should be paid to the quality of materials and craftsmanship: if the bottle mouth has burrs, obvious seams, or asymmetrical body, it usually indicates a substandard product produced by small workshops. When gently tapped, the sound is dull and muffled, suggesting that the porcelain is porous and fragile; conversely, a clear and resonant sound indicates that the porcelain is robust and durable.
When selecting a vase, pay attention to both material and weight: excessively thin vases are prone to breaking, while overly heavy ones may compromise stability due to impurities. For painted vases, opt for those with glaze applied to the base or center, as these feature smooth and even surfaces. Vases with inferior glaze that merely covers the surface are likely to show fading and powder shedding, making them not only inconvenient to use but also significantly lower in quality.
The final step is to inspect the vase base: if issues such as missing markings, rough surface, or unstable placement are found, proceed with caution. By adhering to these criteria, you can avoid pitfalls and purchase a ceramic vase that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
