A RARE CELADON BOX AND A RARE RED GLAZED BOX
Song Dynasty (AD960-1279) |
Ceramic cosmetics boxes can be divided into several categories, including ones for cream, powder, and rouge. The lid generally fits snugly onto the box. Of these two lots, one is celadon glazed and the other red glazed. The cover of the celadon specimen is adorned with a five-petaled flower of concise design; around the edges of the petals, the color of the glaze is darker. The other box is entirely covered with red glaze without any decorative designs. The glaze is evenly applied, and the colors are very pure. |
