Description:
|
This warmer renders a ten-petaled lotus. The foot ring is quite high, and the walls curve slightly. The mouth inverts a bit, and the petals bind smoothly at the rim. The entire vessel is glazed blue, and the glaze is thin, opaque, and crackled. The vessel is fired under a small biscuit with five tiny pegs, and the grayish-yellow marks are left on the base. This warmer originally hold a teapot, and their shapes were very popular in the Song Dynasty. Teapots and warmers are made also of lacquer, gold, silver, copper, and other materials. Ceramics of this shape are produced in both northern and southern kilns. In any case, this warmer is most mature and elegant in form.
