Description:
As an imitation of jade cong, this vase has a hoop in the middle and squared walls. The entire vessel is glazed greenish-blue, and the glaze is shiny and unctuous. Beneath the glaze are eight registers of typical and decorative motif of cong. The glaze towards the foot shows grayish brown crackles, whereas the crackles in the middle of the vase are light brown in color. The uneven, round foot discloses the clay body, which is coated with a protective brown wax. The base shows a "-" crack due to uneven contractions of glaze during the firing process.The vessel is very similar to excavated objects from the Southern Song imperial kiln at Jiaotang. Ceramics produced in Southern Song imperial kilns are archaistic. They imitate ancient jade and bronze in both form and function, and similarly serve as ritual vessels.
