Asymmetrical and yet aesthetically pleasing, the russet
markings on the present bowl were created by applying a
slip which contains iron-oxide on top of the dark glaze before
firing. Such abstract patterns of russet splashes on Cizhou
wares were probably inspired by teabowls from the Southern
Jian kilns, and were produced during the Northern Song and
Jin period (Robert D. Mowry, Hare’s Fur, Tortoiseshell and
Partridge Feathers: Chinese Brown and Black-Glazed Ceramics,
400-1400, Harvard University Art Museums, Cambridge,
Mass., 1995-96, p. 32; see lot 31).
Two related conical bowls are included in ibid., cat. nos 37a-b;
and another with larger russet mottles is offered in this sale,
lot 2.
