Longquan Guan Jarlet
Southern Song Dynasty, 1127-1279 AD., China
Diameter: 8.5cm
A small Longquan Guan jar with wide mouth and narrow foot rim, both unglazed to reveal a dark gray stoneware body. The piece is covered with a pale gray-green celadon glaze with broad, random russet craquelure.

These pieces were produced in Hangzhou in imitation of official “Guan” wares, which were reserved for Imperial use in the Southern Song Dynasty.
