A white glazed porcelain tea bowl, North China, late Tang-Five dynasties

A white glazed porcelain tea bowl, North China, late Tang-Five dynasties. Estimate US$ 3,000 - 5,000 (2,700 - 4,400). Photo Bonhams.

Thickly potted with a rolled rim and wide shallow well supported on a wide foot ring surrounding a very shallow recessed base, the glaze covering the interior and most of the exterior walls displaying a very faint blue-green tinge as it stops unevenly above the foot, exposing the hard white fabric. 5 3/4in (14.7cm) diameter

NotesFor a xing ware dish of similar form but slightly smaller size in the Idemitsu Museum of Art, see Li Zhiyin and others,Chinese Ceramics from the Paleolithic Period through the Qing dynasty 2010, p.543, pl. 10.9 (14.0cm diameter). The authors also mention that Xing type ceramics were, with Yue and Changsha wares, the three most prevalent ceramics exported from China from the eighth to late tenth century. For another white ware bowl of similar shape and size, found in Pagerrejo, Wonosobbo, Central Java, and ascribed to the ninth century, see ORIENTAL CERAMICS The World's Great Collections, Vol. 3: Museum Pusat, Jakarta, black and white plate 60 (14.0cm diameter).
