Although the glazes of most Longquan celadon wares exhibit a cool,
bluish-green hue and lack crackles, fine crackled wares were also made
at the Longquan kilns during the Southern Song period. Archaeologist
Zhu Boqian has suggested that the Longquan kilns began to make
crackled wares around 1200 in imitation of the Southern Song crackled
guan wares made at the Jiaotanxia kilns, near Hangzhou. (Rosemary
Scott, ‘Guan or Ge Ware: A Re-Examination of Some Pieces in the
Percival David Foundation’, Oriental Art, Summer 1993, vol. 39, no. 2,
p. 19.) According to excavation reports, places where these Longquan
wares in the guan style were made include Xinting, Aodi, and Shanshu
Lianshan in Dayao County and Wayaoqing, Kulouwan, and Lijiashan
in Xikou County. See Song Guanyao tezhan (Catalogue of the Special
Exhibition of Song Dynasty Guan Ware), National Palace Museum,
Taipei, 1989, p. 30.

Guan-type wares produced at the Longquan kilns show considerable
variation, some examples have dark, slate-grey bodies and crackled,
greyish-blue glazes. Others imitate the crackled glaze and form of
guan but have the light grey stoneware bodies typical of standard
Longquan celadon ware. Another type known as beishoku celadon in
Japanese, have a golden-brown glaze. A closely related censer was
sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 14 November 1989, lot 9. Compare also
a Longquan li censer of similar form but with golden-brown crackled
glaze, sold at Christie’s New York, 18-19 September 2014, lot 745.

The result of C-Link Research & Development thermoluminescence
test no. 4686EA41 is consistent with the dating of this lot.
