A SMALL CHINESE JUNYAO 'MOON WHITE' SAUCER DISH, the broad everted rim above a gently rounded body, the thick light-blue glaze suffused with tiny whitish particles, Northern Song Dynasty, 11.5cm diameter. Provenance: The George de Menasce Collection. Spink and Son Ltd London 1972. An Important Private Collection of Chinese and other East Asian Art. This type of lighter blue Junyao glaze has traditionally been referred to by Chinese scholars as 'moon-white'. This analogy rights expresses appreciation for its great subtlety. The present example, with a glaze appearing suffused with tiny white particles, brings to mind the softness of a fresh dusting of snow in the moonlight. For a foliated dish in the Sir Percival David Collection see 'Song Ceramics: Objects of Admiration', by Stacey Pierson, London 2003, pp.46-47.
