Chinese Art A Celadon dish with short brim China, Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) . . Cm 7,00 x 27,50. Plate made of heavy-bodied ceramic covered with an elegant pale green glaze in imitation of jade produced in the Longquan kilns. The plate, characterized by a short, smooth and unadorned rim, has the wall of the bowl decorated with an engraved leaf motif. Objects of this type, known in the West by the generic name of Celadon porcelain, were made of stoneware coated with a layer of translucent green or blue-green enamel, produced with iron oxide in a reducing atmosphere. The Celadon family, also cataloged with the Anglo-Saxon term of green-ware, is wide and includes various artifacts made in the most disparate locations in Central Asia (China, Japan and Korea) and South East Asia (Thailand and Vietnam). Under the Song rulers, around the 12th century, the grandiose Longquan kilns were inaugurated in China and this event gave rise to a large-scale production meant for trade routes throughout the East. For their extraordinary solidity, pleasantness to the touch and beauty, the Longquan celadon were highly appreciated both in China and in the Middle East, where they were successfully exported.
Chinese Art A pottery jar Cambodia, Khmer dynasty (802-1431), 13th century . . Cm 21,00 x 25,00. Ovoid-shaped container covered by a worn brown-greenish monochrome glaze. The elongated body has four suspension loops close to the neck. This type of artifact is attributable to the Cambodian pottery production of the XII-XIII century characterized by the smooth leather-colored cover that leaves part of the ceramic body uncovered.
Chinese Art A blue and white porcelain dish China, Transitional Period (1620-1683). . Cm 30,00 x 7,00. A blue underglaze painted thin porcelain dish. The white cavetto, framed by the brim decorated with birds and sprays desily interweaved, circumscribes the central circle on which five large flowered corollas arranged in quincunxes stand out. Manufacture mark at the base. This type of pottery, inspired to the Yuan and Ming, was mainly intended for export to Europe and to the Middle East. Its main feature is the cursive style of the decoration on a ceramic body not always matching high quality standards, being it subject to cracking and often affected by cooking defects. Nonetheless, the final product always strikes for its expressiveness, personality and high decorative value, which is exactly why these products have been very popular in the West for centuries.
