Description:
A rare find! (3)Mirrored Late Song dynasty to Early Yuan dynasty vases, ca.1100-1368. Dimensions: each vase is approximately 5-1/2" tall, by 3" diameter (widest). These 3 small vases are masculine in form. Most likely, these small vases originally served the purpose of medicine bottles. Each vase has an ample belly that stands on short, uneven and inverted foot rim. The body gently flares upward from the belly to a slender neck and then to a flared mouth rim. Each vase is glazed with a lustrous pale green glaze that has brown spots. Each vase also exhibits a beige or "chicken-bone" white glaze characteristic that can be seen on from the mouth rim (inside and out) downward into the foot rim. The mouth rims of each vase has a metallic appearance as well. Both of these effects are known as baojin. Baojin is formed when the tomb contents and earth disolve and metamorphasize with the glaze on the vases. This process take many hundreds of years to begin to form and is diagnostic of the authenticity of these vases Song/Yuan attribution. Qin cannot be replicated with modern forgery methods. Each vase has fine wondering crackling and one vase has a little glaze porosity in the neck area (see enlargements). The foot of each vase appears uneven and roughly finished. The exposed clay is reddish brown in color. The overall condition consensus is very good to fine condition with two vases with no injury and one vase having a small 3/4" chip that has been repaired. The repair was intentionally done to be visible, so as not to be deceiving nor detracting.
