A qingbai glazed cup and stand northern Song Dynasty (960-1127)
Description
A fine cup and stand of elegant proportions decorated with a bluish-white qingbai glaze which deepens to a pleasing bluish hue where the glaze has pooled, the stand with a tall, flared foot below a dish with an everted lip, supporting a dais with a raised rim, the deep, well-proportioned cup standing on a narrow, flared foot. This colour and glassiness of this glaze is a result of firing in a pine-wood fuelled reducing kiln (with possibly the addition of a little iron). The body is a high-fired off-white porcelain typical of the Jingdezhen kilns of this period. Its hardness and whiteness are indicative of the addition of kaolin, which would minimize shrinkage and allow for finer, thinner-walled pieces to be produced.PROVENANCE: From a Private Collection in UK.
