AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of three ceramics with a floral decoration
Tran Dynasty, 14th century
Vietnam, Red River region
Iron-oxide floral-decorated stoneware under a clear glaze
Dimensions:
– Vase: H. 6 cm; Ø 7 cm
– Bowl: H. 4 cm; Ø 8 cm
– Bowl: H. 4.5 cm; Ø 9.5 cm
This set includes a small globular vase and two fine stoneware bowls, covered with a clear glaze in ivory tones. The decoration, painted with iron oxide under the glaze, consists of stylized floral motifs and flexible, free-flowing scrolling patterns, characteristic of Vietnamese productions of the Tran Dynasty.
The vase, slightly flattened spherical in form, rests on a discreet base and opens with a short cylindrical neck. Its decoration alternates stylized foliage and geometric motifs, rhythmically framed by concentric lines accenting the shoulder and the lower body.
The two bowls, fitted with a small annular foot, have flared profiles. One is adorned with a central floral medallion inscribed within a double circle, and the other features a wide motif of scrolling tendrils running beneath the lip. The spontaneity of the brush, variations in pigment density, and the light firing irregularities testify to a workshop production that was refined yet suitable for daily use.
These works illustrate the rise of northern Vietnamese workshops in the 14th century, a period during which potters from the Red River region developed an expressive decorative language, combining form sobriety with vibrant painted decoration.
Condition:
Good overall condition. Light wear consistent with age, small firing irregularities and tonal variations inherent to the production. No major structural damage visible. Small chips.
Provenance: ex-collection Belge - Kanaka The Collection
Sent with UPS and insured
