Extra-Large Koryo Celadon
Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- A celadon flower vase patterned with pine trees and cranes, created by the Mansudae Art Studio in the DPRK, is the largest hard porcelain in the world.

It, over two meters high, was inlaid with two pine trees and some ten cranes.

Azaleas were carved in relief in its upper part and magnolia blossoms inlaid in the lower part in harmony with the main patterns.

The ground color, jade green, adds to the artistic value of the porcelain.

The national treasure is on display at the exhibition hall of the Mansudae Art Studio.
