A LONGQUAN CELADON WASHER
SOUTHERN SONG DYNASTY (1127-1279)

covered overall with an attractive glaze of even sea-green tone with the exception of the foot ring.
5æ in. (14.5 cm.) diam.
£40,000-60,000 US$50,000-75,000
€46,000-68,000
PROVENANCE:
Private Japanese Collection
The glaze of this washer is silken to the touch and is of the most sought after even, bluish-green celadon
tone often referred to by the Japanese term 'kinuta'. Exquisite glazes with such refned texture and color
were rarely achieved outside of the imperial Ru and Guan kilns. The glaze of the present lot may be
compared with the slightly smaller Longquan kinuta washer (14.3 cm. diam.) sold at Christie's New York,
22 March 2019, lot 1742.
