A rare and large Cizhou-type white-glazed scraffiato 'Peony' vase, meiping , Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), the ovoid vase with a short narrow neck and everted rim, thickly covered with white slip through which the decoration has been carved down to the body to create a contrasting white-and-grey effect under an overall milky transparent glaze, forming a design of three oval cartouches each decorated with large peony heads borne on scrolling leafy vines, contained within wide plain bands and interspersed at the upper corners with large leaf trefoils, the foot encircled by a band of petal lappets and the shoulders by a band containing floral scrolls, 32.5cm high
Provenance: London, Eskenazi, November 2003 Victor Hauge collection, Falls Church, Virginia Published: Fujio Koyama, 'Hsiu Wu Ceramic Kilns in the Northern Sung Dynasty, China', The Bijutsu-Kenkyu (The Journal of Art Studies), Vol. VI, no. CLXI, The Institute of Art Research, Tokyo, 1950, pp1-2 and plate V. Fojio Koyama ed., Sekai toji zenshu (Ceramic Art of the World), Vol. 10, Tokyo, 1995, plate 110. Eskenazi, Song: Chinese Ceramics, 10th to 13th Century, London, 2003, no. 15.
The lasting admiration for the unrivalled excellence of Song (960-1279) potters derives from two very different achievements: on the one hand the understated elegance of the refined green and white table wares, with their subtle tonal nuances and subdued decoration, and on the other hand the bold and striking appearance of black and white containers, with their swift and vivacious surface treatments with knife or brush in light/dark contrasts. The present meiping is a masterpiece of the latter category, which derives its beauty from the seemingly nonchalant sgraffiato carving, which in fact is skilfully laid out over the available space, with no awkward gaps or ungainly clusters, and the impeccable potting, manifested in its neat profile. See a large fragment of a less globular meiping decorated with peony scrolls at Osaka Municipal Museum of Art, Charm of Black and White Ware, Transition of Cizhou Type, Osaka, 2002, page 43, number 1 for a

A Chinese 'Jun' sky-blue-glazed bowl, Jin dynasty or Yuan dynasty (1115-1368), 19cm diameter
The lustrous sky-blue glaze of this bowl is traditionally considered to be the most desirable colour for monochrome Jun wares. One of the 'Five Classic Wares' (wu da yao) of the Song dynasty (960-1279), Jun ware was much admired over the centuries by both Chinese and Western connoisseurs for the beautiful depth and intensity of its glaze, which varies from a thick opaque sky-blue to brilliant mauves and lavenders.
A related bowl attributed to the Song or Jin dynasty is illustrated in Regina Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. 1, London, 1994, pl. 387.
