A Fine Excavated Changsha Ware Bowl
A rare of excavated pieces of Changsha type bowl was found in South Sulawesi area and exactly not from shipwreck in Belitung Sumatera. Bowl with everted rim and square-cut foot. Decorated in brown and pale brown under a green glaze with a freely drawn floral motif in the center and brown area on the rim. Late Tang dynasty 9th century, Hunan Changsha ware. Condition is excellent with no any cracks and no chips, also still with very finely glaze. Diameter: 15.9 cm. Note: Reportedly from Indonesia. Comparable with example from Tongguan, Changsha, from where a dated example, inscribed in iron oxide 'third year of Kaicheng' circa 838 is known: see M.Sato (1981) p.88. Two examples excavated at Nishapur, Iran: see M.Medley (1981), PL,90, and fragments re-trieved in vicinity of Prambanan temple, central Java. John S.Guy, Oriental Trade Ceramics in South East Asia.
