PROPERTY FROM THE PETER SCHEINMAN COLLECTION Jizhou wares were much admired in the Song dynasty and were imitated by
other kilns, including the Tushan kilns in Sichuan province. The somewhat
1139 glassy and transparent appearance of the glaze on this rare jar indicates that
A BROWN-SPLASHED YELLOW-GLAZED ‘TIGER SKIN’ VASE it may be a product of these kilns. A conical bowl from the Falk Collection
with a similar glassy brown-splashed glaze, also dated to the Southern Song
SOUTHERN SONG DYNASTY (1127-1279) dynasty, was sold at Christie’s New York, 16 October 2001, lot 94.
