A PERSIMMON-BROWN-GLAZED CONICAL TEA BOWL
Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 960-1279)
of Cizhou type, with thinly potted flat flaring sides rising from a small ring foot of wedge-shaped section, covered with a russet glaze of even tone, showing an attractive matte surface, the glaze draining from the neatly pared lipless rim and with a very narrow dark brown band just below the rim, the footrim unglazed revealing the fine gray stoneware body.
Diameter 5 5⁄16 inches (13.6 cm)
A persimmon-brown-glazed conical tea bowl of very similar form and size is in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, illustrated by Tseng and Dart, The Charles B. Hoyt Collection in the Museum of Fine Arts: Boston, Vol. II, Boston, 1972, no. 122.
Another similar russet-glazed conical tea bowl of slightly smaller size is illustrated in Mostra d’Arte Cinese (Exhibition of Chinese Art), Venice, 1954, p. 153, no. 553, from the collection of George de Menasce.
Compare also the pair of slightly smaller russet-glazed conical tea bowls illustrated in the catalogue of Chinese Ceramics at the National Museum of Korea, Seoul, 2007, no. 80; and the similar bowl, also of slightly smaller size, illustrated in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, Vol. I, Tokyo, 1976, pl. 626.
