A LARGE JUNYAO GREEN-GLAZED DEEP BOWL
Song Dynasty (A.D. 960-1279)
with steeply rounded sides curving in very slightly at the rim and rounded at the bottom to a broad base, raised on a tall ring foot, covered inside and out with a thick opaque glaze of grayish olive-green tone, with an unglazed medallion at the center of the interior, the recessed base splashed with glaze.
Height 6 inches (15.3 cm)
Diameter 7 inches (17.8 cm)
Junyao bowls of this large size and deep form are rare, and no other example with green glaze appears to have been previously published.
A Junyao bowl of similar size and shape covered with a typical lavender-blue Jun glaze is illustrated in The World’s Great Collections: Oriental Ceramics, Vol. 11, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Tokyo, 1982, no. 45, from the Samuel T. Peters Collection; and another similar example, also with a lavender-blue glaze is illustrated in Chinese Ceramics in the Idemitsu Collection, Tokyo, 1987, no. 484.
