Description from the seller
Object
Fine Chinese Celadon bowl from the Song Dynasty (960–1279) with elegant, under-glaze incised floral decoration. The harmonious form with a slightly fluted rim and the subtle gray-green Celadon glaze reflect the reduced aesthetics of the Song period, valued for its balanced form language and subtle glaze variations.
Provenance
Formerly traded through the renowned auction house Dr. Nagel, Stuttgart, listed under Lot 1057 (original label present).
Dimensions
• Diameter: 19 cm
• Height: 5 cm
Material & Technique
• High-fired stoneware (Celadon)
• Transparent-green glaze
• Incised floral decoration under the glaze
Condition
Good condition for age with signs of use and natural firing characteristics on the foot ring. These features are typical of historic ceramics and support the authenticity of the object.
Art Historical Context
Celadon wares of the Song Dynasty are among the most significant ceramic developments in Chinese art history. The restrained decoration and nuanced glaze tones embody the aesthetic standards of this era.
Note for Collectors
An attractive piece for collectors of Chinese ceramics and Song Dynasty objects, and a valuable addition to Asian art collections.
