TWO WHITE-GLAZED BOWLSLarger bowl: Northern Song dynasty; Smaller bowl: Late Tang/Five dynasties; Covered jar: 20th century
The first, a large white-glazed bowl, the curving well rising from a slightly recessed base to a rounded lip, the pale straw-colored glaze covering the interior and forming uneven welts on the exterior walls, stopping above the wedged foot and shallow recessed base to expose a dense white clay fabric; the second, a smaller white-glazed bowl thickly potted with a rolled rim and wide shallow well supported on a wide footring surrounding a very shallow recessed base, the glaze covering the interior and most of the exterior walls displaying a very faint blue-green tinge and stopping unevenly above the foot, exposing the hard white fabric; together with a small baluster-form jar with a domed cover, all covered in a white glaze save for the unglazed foot.
7 3/4in (19.7cm) diam.; 5 3/4in (14.6cm) diam.; 6 1/2in (16.5cm) high (3).FootnotesPlease note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve.
The large white-glazed bowl: The raised ridge accenting the exterior rim, the glaze drips on the exterior walls and the dense fabric suggest this bowl was either fired at, or inspired by, Ding wares of the late 10th or 11th century. For examples of Dingyao bowls from the Kai-yin Lo Collection, see Bright as Silver White as Snow: Chinese White Ceramics from Late Tang to Yuan Dynasty, 1998, pp 100-104, pls 8-10.
The smaller white-glazed bowl: For a Xing-ware dish of similar form but slightly smaller size in the Idemitsu Museum of Art, see Li Zhiyin et. al, Chinese Ceramics from the Paleolithic Period through the Qing dynasty, 2010, p.543, pl. 10.9. The authors mention that Xing-type ceramics were, with Yue and Changsha wares, the three most prevalent ceramics exported from China from the eighth to late tenth century. For another white ware bowl of similar shape and size, found in Pagerrejo, Wonosobbo, Central Java, and ascribed to the ninth century, see ORIENTAL CERAMICS: The World's Great Collections, vol. 3: Museum Pusat, Jakarta, black and white plate 60.Additional informationAuction informationLOTS IN THE Catalogue WITH A "T" NEXT TO THE LOT NUMBER CONTAIN A US IMPORT TARIFF
