A GREENISH-WHITE GLAZED HUTIANYAO BOX
SONG DYNASTY (960-1279) |
This box with lid has two openings. A ball of petal patterns decorates the middle of the lid. The petal patterns surround six floral frames with flowering branches painted inside. The inside and outside of the case and lid are glazed in bluish-white. Because this blue hue develops in white, people praise the coloration as a “shadowy blue.” This elegant box features regular patterns. Its crisp, cool, smooth glazed texture is especially unique and attractive, and the innate beauty of this delicate piece continues to make it a favorite of serious collectors. |
