I wonder if this celadon vase is ancient or modern (20th)?
Height: 21.5 cm
Thank you in advance

This is not celadon. Celadon is green ware...
This is white, crackled, a type of Fangge ware. Probably 20th century.

Thank you Petep , but what is  a type of Fangge ware ?

Ge wares were made in the Song dynasty, their special features were their decoration, a glaze covered with small crackles. 'Fang' means imitation; all Ge type items made by other kilns and during later eras are "Fang-Ge". Only those from the Song dynasty are genuine Ge.
