Located in central Jiangxi province, the Jizhou kilns were perhaps the most daring, versatile and technically creative kilns of the Song dynasty. Although they produced a wide variety of wares, including northern-style white stonewares with molded and slip-painted designs, the kilns are most famous for their brown and black-glazed wares, particulary those that exhibit the innovative techinque of using openwork paper cutouts as stencils to create resist designs.
The present vase, along with a small group of dark-glazed ceramics, is a rare example of dark-glazed ware that display strong connections to the bronze tradition. The sharply-defined, thick lip and the mock ring-handles of the present vase all link it to the contemporary bronzes of Song date. For further discussion on the relationship between dark glazed ceramic wares and bronzes, and for a related Jizhou vase with dark-brown glaze, its shape derived from bronze hu, see R. D. Mowry, Hare’s Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers, p. 251-52, no. 102.
