A CHINESE QINGBAI GLAZED PORCELAIN DISH IN KILN SAGGAR, NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY (AD 960 ? 1127).

拍品描述

A finely potted lobed dish coated in a pale blue qingbai glaze of good colour. The glaze is crackled in places and there is some kiln grit embedded within the glaze. The outer wall of the saggar has a thick dark brown ash glaze, probably accumulated over multiple firings. Total 17.5cm diam. Northern Song Dynasty Qingbai porcelain bowls / dishes were fired individually in saggars (the fireproof clay case) that were stacked on top of each other in the kiln. If the temperature became too hot the porcelain items could warp and sag, becoming fused to the saggar as has happened here. 品相： No sign of repair or restoration. A short split to the edge of the saggar. Notable hairlines in the porcelain.
