There are two types of Ge ware – aka ko).  One has a grayish set of crackles and glaze.  The other is a warm rice-yellow colored glase and two sets of cracks . . . a dark color and a finer set of reddish crackles.  This vase is the latter.   The crackled glaze technique dates back 500 to 700 years.

This is a gorgeous piece with gorgeous colors.  Acquired from an estate in Jongno Korea.  Perfect condition.
