A rare Chinese Dangyangyu marble glazed vase , yuhuchun, Jin Dynasty (1115-1234), the pear-shaped body covered with a dramatic combination of dark chocolate-brown, cream-white and orangey caramel-coloured glazes swirled and mixed together in imitation of natural markings on marble stone, the tall slender neck and trumpet mouth in cream-white above a double collar of dark brown on the sloping shoulders, with a clear glossy glaze overall, the rounded base and wide ring foot unglazed revealing the pale buff pottery body, 18.2cm high
A very similar yuhuchun ping with three-colour 'marbled' glaze discovered in 1996 in a Jin dynasty tomb in the eastern suburbs of Changzhi city, Shanxi province, is illustrated by Zhang (ed.) in Zhongguo chutu ciqi quanji (Complete Collection of Ceramic Art Unearthed in China), Vol. 5: Shanxi, Beijing, 2008, p. 153, no. 153. Compare the yuhuchun ping decorated in the same 'marbled' technique on the pear-shaped body, in the Muwentang Collection and illustrated by Li and Kwan, Song dai taoci (Song Ceramics), Hong Kong, 2012, pp. 430-431, no. 180. Compare also the very similar three-colour 'marbled' glaze decoration on a Cizhou meiping, in the British Museum collection, illustrated by Qin and Li in the essay "Karlbeck's Jiaozuo Kiln-Research and Analysis of Dangyangyu Kilns" published in Zhongguo Dangyangyu yao (Dangyangyu Kiln of China), Beijing, 2010, p. 222, pl. 5, described as from the Jiaozuo kilns, an early example of 'marbled' glaze made in the Jin dynasty.
