A JIZHOU SLIP-DECORATED BOWL
Song Dynasty (A.D. 960-1279)
boldly decorated with overlapping swirling lines on the interior and exterior in fluid semi-translucent slip of yellowish-caramel tone over a dark chocolate-brown glaze, the rounded flaring sides of the bowl rising to a shallow ‘finger groove’ below the lipped rim, the knife-pared ring foot and underside unglazed, revealing the buff-colored pottery body.
Diameter 6 1⁄4 inches (15.9 cm)
A similar bowl decorated in the same style in the Shanghai Museum is illustrated in Zhongguo meishu quanji gongyi meishu bian, 2, taoci (zhong) (Compendium of Chinese Art and Artifact, Vol. 2, Ceramics II), Shanghai, 1988, pl. 183, attributed to the Yonghe kilns at Jizhou, Jiangxi province. The same bowl is also illustrated by Yu in Zhongguo gutaoci biaoben: Jiangxi Jizhou yao (Specimens of Ancient Chinese Ceramics: Jizhou Kiln in Jiangxi), Guangzhou, 2002, p. 39, no. 17-18.
Another similar Jizhou bowl is illustrated by Sullivan, Chinese Ceramics, Bronzes and Jades in the Collection of Sir Alan and Lady Barlow, London, 1963, no. C. 290, pl. 123d, with caption on p. 122.
