China, southern Sung, 13th century AD. Streaked "Hares fur" with a shinning black glaze showing fine radial rust-colored streaks that resemble the fur of a hare or the markings of a partridge. The characteristic Jian yao tea bowl is conical in shape and has a coarse reddish-black stoneware body. Named after Mount Tianmu (Temmoku in Japanese) in Chekiang Province where many Japanese monks received Zen training, these bowls were distinguished by their conical shape, small foot, and lustrous black glaze. Highly prized as rare imported objects, temmoku tea bowls were always used in conjunction with a lacquered stand. 4-3/4"D x 2"T, intact.
Provenance: Ex-D. Smith Collection, CA acquired at auction. Authenticity Guaranteed |
