A small collection but some interesting pieces and arrangements!
On the left is a Jian ware tea bowl from the 13th century and on the right a Seto ware copy from 16th century Japan. You have to look every closely to detect the slight differences—the higher-fired glaze and more symmetrical shape of the copy. It shows you how tough it must be to be a ceramics assessor!A really unique Tang vaseSuper cute Tang pitcher in the shape of a bird (missing a head most likely); it’s only like 4” tall!I pegged this as Jizhou, but it’s Jian ware!Very early Tang dynasty, from Hebei province.Super cute tiny wine cup, also early TangDelftware during their Japanophile period.A gorgeous little pitcher by George Ohr, the “mad potter of Biloxi”I was so pleased to see this!
