Vietnam
Tran Dynasty (1225-1400), 14th century
Thickly potted high-fired stoneware with an incised double line below the mouth, covered in a vibrant apple-green coloured glaze. 12cm high, 13cm diameter. Together with a Japanese wooden box.
Cat. 146
Condition: magnificent, with no glaze loss, only a small area of glaze crazing at the base above the foot, and an excellent ring when lightly tapped. Being successfully high-fired and with a perfectly intact glaze with rich and beautiful green colour, this ceramic is one of the best examples of its type that I have seen and handled, as is often the case with Southeast Asian ceramics from old Japanese collections.
