A “spinach and egg”-glazed porcelain waterpot with an applied Chilong – Kangxi period

€620
| /

This scholars’ object has a hexagonal shape with an applied Chilong clambering around the side to the rim. It is mainly covered in yellow and green glaze with elements of brown and white. It was biscuit fired and then the low firing green, yellow, brown and transparent glazes were applied and fired at about 900 °C. It was probably made in a Jingdezhen kiln.

 

Period: Kangxi (1662-1722)

Size: Height 4.5 cm

Condition: Good condition, light wear, two hairline cracks (possibly glaze cracks) going down from the rim (see pictures 12,13), no repairs found with UV-light.

Provenance: From an old private Swedish collection. It was part of the exhibition ”Mittens Rike, En unik exposé av 4000 års konst och konsthantverk från Kina, Borås Konstmuseum” in 1985 (No 569), and is illustrated in the catalogue.
