Description:
A conical 'Hare's Fur' tea bowl. Song Dynasty, 12th-13th century. The bowl features broad, flaring sides that ascend from a finely cut, narrow foot to a subtly everted rim. It is entirely coated with a lustrous black glaze, delicately streaked with fine 'Hare's fur' markings. These markings gracefully taper to a russet brown at the rim, adding a sophisticated contrast to the piece's overall aesthetic. For a comparable example of this type of ceramic work, you can refer to a piece that was auctioned by Christie's. The lot, which featured similar artistic characteristics, was sold for US$15,000. Comparable example: a Cizhou-Type conical 'Hare's Fur' tea bowl, Song Dynasty, 12th-13th century. Christie's New York, 19 Sep 2014 (Sold: US$15,000).
