Late Song or Yuan Dynasty Jun Yao Bowl with a Crackled Glaze

This bowl with its slightly inturned rim, its controlled crackle and its greyish blue tone has characteristics of a late Song or Jin period product. But styles don’t end and begin conveniently with big political shifts and it may equally date from the Yuan dynasty, when there was a desire in the market for more Junyao bowls of a larger size. Whatever the exact time of its manufacture, it exhibits a fine balance of strength and good taste. Diameter: 18cm; Height: 8.3 cm. Condition: excellent with minor wear. Price: $2200 USD; $2900 CAD (HST of 13% will be applied on all sales in Canada).
