Guan-Type vase ( China & Japan ) - GerryG - Apr 16, 2014 (07:31 AM)

Subject:Guan-Type vase
Posted By: GerryG Wed, Apr 16, 2014 IP: 109.125.59.205

Purchased this recently. Some good characteristics for Guan ware. Certainly not song but maybe Yongzheng or perhaps Guangxu. definite evidence of ring pad on base used as rest during firing which excludes anything before Chenghua. Too thickly potted anyway for early Guan ware. Iron red has been applied to foot rim though there is evidence of same showing through glaze on lip of vase which could indicate red slip being applied to base and lip of vase to simulate Song period manufacture. Glaze is lustrous. Crackle has been dyed very prominently suggesting use of oxide rather than charcoal. Dimensions are 10 cms in diameter by almost 19 cms in height.

Any comments welcome, thanks for looking,

Gerry
