This "hare's fur" bowl still in its kiln saggar was made during the Song Dynasty (AD 960 - 1279) and has been excavated from a kiln site in Fujian province. Much of the glaze of the bowl is a deep glossy black with the "hare's fur" effect mostly around the rim. It appears the saggar shifted during firing causing the bowl to move inside its saggar and come into contact with the wall of the saggar resulting in the glaze of the bowl fusing to ...

This rare pear-shaped vase or bottle was made during the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1279 - 1368) by one of the kilns at Yuxi county in Yunnan province, one of the first places in the world where blue & white ware was produced. It is "heavily-potted" and decorated in underglaze cobalt blue with floral and leaf designs. It is coated with a clear glaze that falls short of the heavy irregularly cut foot. Similar wares were first unearthed in 1973 in Lufe...

This wide-bodied porcelain ewer was made during the Song Dynasty (AD 960 - 1279). It is particularly "heavily-potted" for its type.

The base remains unglazed revealing the creamy-white body.

This fine and impressive pottery jar (hu) was made during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - AD 220). It is made from a fairly high-fired reddish pottery and coated in a particularly attractive glossy thick streaky green and finely-crackled glaze, the colour of which varies according to its thickness. Interestingly, the drips of glaze to the mouth rim and the pooling of glaze to the flat base show that this jar was fired upsid...
