A JUN CELESTE BLUE GLAZED CUP
Song Dynasty |
This cup has a round mouth that uniformly slopes downward into its base, forming a hemispherical bowl. A light brown glaze is applied to the mouth, whereas the base is unglazed, exposing the clay’s light brown color. These two shades of brown form an interesting contrast that enhances the aesthetic quality of the work. Aside from the two rims, the cup is cover in a light blue glaze, which alludes to imagery of a clear sky and feelings of joy. This solid looking cup is in perfect condition. A spot of excess glaze protrudes at the base. This work is a bold in its artistic expression. |
