Song Dynasty Jizhou stoneware tea bowl, produced at the Jizhou kilns in Jiangxi province and decorated with a distinctive splashed abstract glaze. The dark surface is enlivened by irregular cream, brown and russet markings, creating the spontaneous, expressive effect associated with Jizhou wares of the Song period. The glaze stops short of the foot, revealing the pale brown stoneware body, with a faint Chinese character visible in fired-on black pigment.
Diameter: 11 cm.
