A GUAN-TYPE LINGZHI BRUSH WASHER, XI
18TH-19TH CENTURY
The shallow washer is smoothly potted as a large lingzhi fungus with low raised curled edges forming the sides of the vessel. A smaller fungus is attached to the crescent-form stem on one side. The piece is covered overall with an unctuous pale grey glaze suffused with dark and russet crackles, the base with spur marks reminiscent of Song-dynasty wares.
5 ¾ in. (14.5 cm.) wide
