A JIAN DOULI-SHAPED PERSIMMON-GLAZED TEA BOWL Song Dynasty (AD 960-1279)

D: 13.1 cm
H: 5.8 cm

This persimmon glaze funnel tea bowl is openmouthed with a straight sloped body and a thick, solid structure. The persimmon glaze has a moist look and is applied inside and outside, except for the base which has been left unglazed. Running in a thick vertical pattern, the glaze condenses into beads in places and reveals a yellow brown hue on the surface. From a distance the effect is reminiscent of the color and texture of tea leaves. The evenly distributed spotting creates a natural beauty highlighting the excellence of the Jian kiln.
