| Very rare Tang Dynasty semi transparent whitish glazed on white stoneware body cosmetic box. I have seen very few of these, most Tang pieces of this type are ovoid jars. Both halves of this piece are perfectly “matched and married”. There is a long chip on the lower mouthrim and minor hairline (both noted in enlargements), as well as some fritting on the surface (approximately 10% to20%), which is very typical for this sort of ware. The glaze inside the box is perfect as it was sealed and not exposed to air or soil. I chose to have this piece professionally cleaned, which did not affect the original condition of the glaze, so I do not expect any further fritting. D: 10.2cm/4in and H: 4.8cm/1.8in. | ||||||||||||
