- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Song Dynasty, ca. 960 to 1270 CE. A fine example of a Qingbai ware funerary jar (also sometimes known as Yingqing, meaning "shadow green"), used in southern China during this period to hold grain and other offerings inside of tombs. It has an elongated body, with a smooth lower half that stands on a round foot. The upper half has applied figures: twelve robed, abstract humans form a border above which is a soaring dragon. These figures are applied to the thin, otherwise smooth neck; above that is a with a wide, bowl-like mouth with an applied wavy border around its center and loops for suspension attached to the border. A delicate lid capped by a phoenix or similar bird perches atop the vessel; this also has four loops for suspension, as well as for tying the lid onto the vessel. Qingbai ware is arguably the first mass-produced type of porcelain, used most for burial wares and exports. The distinctive color of the glaze is a result of using pine wood as fuel in the kilns, creating a reducing atmosphere. Size: 5.4" W x 26.5" H (13.7 cm x 67.3 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Delaware, USA collection acquired before 1990
