A VERY RARE AND SMALL YAOZHOU BLACK GLAZED CENSOR
Jin Dynasty (AD1115-1234) |
This censor has a lipped rim, a straight neck, and a rounded belly, and it rests on three feet. The entire vessel has a black glaze finish, inside and out. The finish is thinner at the edges, partly revealing the russet colored body. The glaze was allowed to run during the manufacturing process, and is therefore somewhat thinner around the rim and neck, and slightly thicker at the bottom. This was a very popular design for censors during the Song and Jin dynasties, similar to those found in Jun ware. |
