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

拍品描述

A finely potted bowl coated in a finely crackled pale blue qingbai glaze of good colour. Interestingly, within this saggar there are also the remains of a second bowl from a previous firing. The outer wall of the saggar has a thick dark brown ash glaze, clearly accumulated over multiple firings. 16.5cm total diam. Northern Song Dynasty Qingbai porcelain was 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 split down the side of the saggar which has coincided with a hairline in the bowl.
