This Longquan celadon figure is defined by a composed frontal presence: half-lidded eyes, a calm oval face, and a hooded mantle that reads as a single, clean silhouette. The robe is modeled with restrained but deep folds—glaze pools in the recesses into a richer olive tone, while the raised edges fire thinner and lighter, sharpening the relief and giving the carving real definition. The color shifts naturally from jade-like grey-green to mossy depths, with fine peppered speckling and subtle kiln character on the surface—an understated, materially convincing piece where form and glaze do the work.

This vessel is an exceptionally rare example believed to represent a Cong-shaped ceramic attributable to the Jin Dynasty, and it may be the only known ceramic work of this form from the period. While certain formal similarities have led some scholars to tentatively associate it with the Song Dynasty or later, the present work is more convincingly attributed to the Western Jin Dynasty (3rd–4th century CE). The vessel is constructed with a cylindrical inner structure and a square outer profile, conforming to the characteristic geometry of the ancient Cong (琮) form. Its surface is decorated with restrained geometric incised patterns. This structural concept is directly derived from ancient jade Cong (玉琮), which represent the earliest and most authoritative prototypes of the form. Jade Congs...

In China, the term qingci "青瓷" (literally meaning blue-green porcelain) is used to designate ceramic objects of gray-green color, with the first character representing blue or blue-green color "青". Various epithets were used to describe this color: "heavenly azure" "天青" (tian qing), "dusty blue" "粉青" (fen qing), or "after the rain passes, the sky becomes blue" - yu guo tian qing "雨過天青", which idiomatically means the arrival of good times after troubles. The characteristic gray-green color is obtained by adding iron oxide to the glaze. During the chemical reaction in reduction firing (i.e., without oxygen access) of the ceramics, the iron contained in the glaze acquires a blue, gray, or greenish hue. During the Song (宋), Yuan (元), and Ming (明) dynasties, the art of Chinese celadon ceramics...

This vessel is well-modeled as a recumbent winged lion with detailed decorative elements. It features a grimacing face with large protruberant eyes under heavy brows and a gaping mouth, which forms a large aperture. The piece has a tail that arches to form a loop handle, and the wings are incised on the sides. The whole piece is finished with a thin olive-green glaze. This kind of figural vessel dates back to at least the Western Han dynasty, with the design fully developed in the Yue kilns of Zhejiang province during the 3rd and 4th centuries.
