Lot Essay

The bowl with rounded sides is covered overall with a glaze of deep sea-green colour thinning to mushroom to the rim.

Compare a Jun piece of very similar shape, but covered with a blue glaze, housed in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Zhongguo Taoci Quanji, Vol.12, Junyao, Kyoto, 1983, pl. 59. Compare also another Jin dynasty Jun green-glazed bowl formerly in the collection of Dr. Carl Kempe, later sold at Sotheby’s London, 5 November 2008, lot 550, and again at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 29 April 2022, lot 3699.
