A FINE LONGQUAN CELADON ‘TWIN FISH’ WASHER

SOUTHERN SONG DYNASTY (1127-1279)
The washer is finely potted with rounded sides rising to an everted rim supported on a
short foot, the interior is decorated with a pair of sprig-moulded fish, covered inside and
out with a thick, translucent glaze of a rich, bluish-green tone. The foot is unglazed,
revealing the fine, pale grey body.
5 1 in. (12.9 cm.) diam., box

HK$450,000-550,000 US$59,000-71,000
Longquan ‘twin fish’ washers of such delicate size and fine potting are very rare. Compare to a
larger example (21.3 cm.) of similar glaze colour, formerly in the Linyushanren Collection, sold at
