We would like to introduce you to the rare items we have received. This is a very old vessel from China. It is a vessel made in a dynasty called "Liao" that existed from the 10th to the 12th century in China. The image shows a map of China from the 10th century to the 12th century. The yellow area is "Liao" . They are characterized by applying colored glazes such as tan, green, and white to their vessels. There were also monochromatic ones, such as brown ones and only yellow and green ones. And this item is finished in Yellow brown glaze. Also, I posted a picture of a glaze pot that is similar to an art book. Please refer to it. And this item is very beautiful and transparent. The entire vessel is made to imitate the petals of a flower. The pottery clay uses bright and slightly whitish clay. In some cases, white mud is applied as an undercoat before applying yellow or green, and then yellow or green is applied over it. This item is painted with Yellow brown glaze directly on the clay. The glaze has fine cracks. This is common to most Liao period glazes. Not bad quality. Therefore, this item also has a little flaking of the glaze. Also, there is a small chip on the edge. However, there are not many items that are in perfect condition because they are excavated items, but this one seems to be in quite good condition. A dedicated storage wooden box is also included. This was owned by a Japanese collector...
