The Huairen kilns, based in Huairen county in Shanxi province, are
renowned for their production of black-glazed wares. Their ‘oil spot’ tea
bowls were particularly held in high regard by connoisseurs, and often
compared with the ‘oil spot’ bowls produced by the Jian kilns in the
south. The current bowl, with the black glaze scraped away around the
mouth rim to make way for a layer of white glaze, is even more complex in
production and very rarely seen among extant examples.
