About the Item

The edges have been dipped in four places with brown, probably iron-oxide. The well of the bowl is freely painted in deep green and coffee coloured brown. These are characteristic features of Changsha ware. The Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore holds examples of Changsha ware. Period : Late Tang Dynasty Production Date : Circa 830 Made in : Hunan province Found/Acquired : Indonesia, Belitung Island Reference : 1) Book by Natali Pearson, Photo by Michael Flecker 2) Christies Hongkong 4 OCT 2016 - The Pavilion Sale - Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art - Lot 90 (Price realised : HKD 75,000 / Type : Closely related) 3) Christies Hongkong 23 MAY – 6 JUN 2023 - Pavilion Online – Chinese Art - Lot 3208 (Price range : HKD 80,000 - HKD 120,000 / Type : Closely related) * The Belitung Hoard Changsha Ware The Belitung wreck held three main types of Chinese "wares" in the form of bowls: Changsha ware (produced in kilns in Tongguan), the majority of the items, were originally packed in either straw cylinders or "Dusun" storage jars; White-ware, manufactured in the Ding kilns and including the earliest known intact underglaze blue and white dishes; and Yue ware from Zhejiang Province. The wreck has given archaeologists two major discoveries: the biggest single collection of Tang dynasty artefacts found in one location outside of China, the so-called "Tang Treasure"; and the Arabian dhow, which gives a new insight into the trade routes between China and the Middle East during that period.
