A VERY LARGE ‘CIZHOU’ SGRAFFIATO VASE
WITH HANDLES, JIN DYNASTY, 1115–1234
Black-glazed stoneware with extensive patina
China, 1115–1234

The ovoid body swelling broadly at the shoulder and
set with two tab handles before the short straight
neck and wide everted mouth rim, applied overall
with a lustrous black-glaze transmuting to russet-
colored striations along the bow strings, boldly cut
through with a broad band of four meandering
blossoms borne on leafy stems enclosed within a two
incised double line borders, the glaze falling short
as a wavy line significantly above the base, revealing
the buff-colored stoneware body, with a few tears of
glaze trickling down to the foot rim.

Shape: Vase with handles
Weight: 10,9 kilograms
Dimensions: Height 50,5 cm
Condition: Extensive wear and traces of use, as is
typical for this type of early Jin cizhou wares, some
minor flaws to lip and one handle, some glaze
flakes, one manufacturing flaw to foot rim, overyall
outstanding condition for an original ceramic of this
age, no restoration whatsoever
Provenance: Dutch private collection
