These stonewares were not only made in the region of Cizhou, Hebei Province, but in several provinces of China during the Song, Yuan and Ming periods.

Nowadays Cizhou fetch very high prices at public auctions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the past fifty years, kilns producing Cizhou wares have been identified and excavated.

Champleve decoration appears at the beginning of the Song period in Henan at Dengfengxian and at Xiuwu. This method consisted of covering the vessel with a white slip, then carving and incising the design as to expose the brown of the body below. The whole surface was then glazed. After firing, the brown of the body formed a striking contrast with that of the glaze covering the white slip. Sometimes the design stands out against a ground of little circles stamped with a metal or bamboo tool. This decoration was often used on Tang metalwork. A variant of the technique used in the 11th century consisted of incising the little circles through the slip, then filling the lines with brick-red paint. The object, generally a pillow or cup, was then glazed. In another type of decoration called sgraffito, two layers of slip were placed one over the other, a brown slip, for example, over a white one, or vice versa over the parts destined for decoration; then the design was drawn by incising and scratching the upper layer, and the whole thing was covered with a transparent glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference : Irv Graham\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AUA Oriental Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44208036315392,"sku":"","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/5297\/6896\/files\/1-Photoroom_1_003d8a52-b8e2-46ec-8fbf-b97e33f73a1e.png?v=1767494146"},{"product_id":"a-longquan-celadon-five-spouted-jar-northern-song-dynasty-ad-960-1127","title":"Longquan Celadon Five-Spouted Jar, Five Dynasties\/Song Dynasty","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"135\" data-end=\"436\"\u003eThe vessel is thickly potted, with an ovoid body divided into five horizontal lobes that gently taper toward the top.

This method consisted of covering the vessel with a white slip, then carving and incising the design as to expose the brown of the body below. The whole surface was then glazed. After firing, the brown of the body formed a striking contrast with that of the glaze covering the white slip. Sometimes the design stands out against a ground of little circles stamped with a metal or bamboo tool. This decoration was often used on Tang metalwork. A variant of the technique used in the 11th century consisted of incising the little circles through the slip, then filling the lines with brick-red paint. The object, generally a pillow or cup, was then glazed. In another type of decoration called sgraffito, two layers of slip were placed one over the other, a brown slip, for example, over a white one, or vice versa over the parts destined for decoration; then the design was drawn by incising and scratching the upper layer, and the whole thing was covered with a transparent glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AUA Oriental Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44397230162176,"sku":"","price":4990.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/5297\/6896\/files\/1-Photoroom_1_8e960822-367d-47c5-8423-690c05905d19.png?v=1767502938"},{"product_id":"a-molded-qingbai-flowers-dish-southern-song-dynasty","title":"Molded Qingbai 'Flowers' Dish, Southern Song Dynasty","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis dish is coated with a transparent bluish-white glaze over a thin white body.

The thickness of the glaze, as well as the firing conditions, could affect the final shade and appearance of the celadon, with some pieces exhibiting a more crackled texture and others a smoother, glossier finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLongquan celadons were highly prized for their beauty and durability, making them popular both domestically within China and internationally. They were exported widely, reaching as far as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, where they were often considered luxury items and treasured by various cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe designs of Longquan celadon wares varied from simple and elegant forms to more elaborate decorations, including carved or incised motifs inspired by nature, such as lotus flowers, phoenixes, dragons, and foliage. Despite the variations in decoration, the emphasis was always on the harmony between form, glaze, and decoration, with the glaze playing a crucial role in enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Song Dynasty, Longquan celadon was one of several major types of ceramics produced in China, each with its own distinctive characteristics. However, the quality and beauty of Longquan celadon made it one of the era's most celebrated ceramic types, and it continues to be highly valued by collectors and scholars today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AUA Oriental Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45093417320704,"sku":"","price":7990.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/5297\/6896\/files\/1_620c6bb2-f4b9-4a4c-9caa-2819d0fbe442.png?v=1767609742"},{"product_id":"qingbai-melon-form-water-ewer-northern-song-dynasty","title":"Qingbai Melon form water ewer, Five Dynasties-Northern song dynasty","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe oviform body is divided into few lobes, and the shoulder is applied with a pair of small loops molded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeriod : Five Dynasties-Song Dynasty(907-1279)\u003cbr\u003eType : Ewer\u003cbr\u003eMedium : Zhejiang celadon\u003cbr\u003eDimension : 21 cm(Height), 10.5cm(Mouth Diameter) \u003cbr\u003eCondition : Good(Spout was repaired)\u003cbr\u003eProvenance : Acquired in late 1990s from Hongkong\u003cbr\u003eReference :\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1) Yu Jen taipei - 2020 Autumn Auction - Fine Chinese Ceramics \u0026amp; Works of Art\u003cbr\u003e(Price range : USD 6,900-8,600 \/ Type : Related)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/www.yu-jen.com.tw\/en\/lot.php?act=view\u0026amp;id=7529\u0026amp;new=0\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2) Christie's NEW YORK 1–15 DEC 2015 - Exquisite Splendor: Chinese Ceramics And Works Of Art - Lot 55\u003cbr\u003e(Price realised : 3,500 USD \/ Type : Closely related)\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/onlineonly.christies.com\/s\/exquisite-splendor-chinese-ceramics-works-art\/zhejiang-celadon-ewer-55\/22804\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AUA Oriental Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45146419298560,"sku":"","price":2990.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/5297\/6896\/files\/1-1-Photoroom_bc0388ee-1c07-4e7c-8ed0-4c4de183fba7.png?v=1771410691"},{"product_id":"a-longquan-celadon-lotus-petal-jar-and-cover-northern-song-dynasty11th-12th-century","title":"LONGQUAN CELADON 'LOTUS PETAL' JAR AND COVER, SUI-SONG DYNASTY","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe jar is sturdily potted with an oval shaped body carved with overlapping lotus petals below the straight neck.

This method consisted of covering the vessel with a white slip, then carving and incising the design as to expose the brown of the body below. The whole surface was then glazed. After firing, the brown of the body formed a striking contrast with that of the glaze covering the white slip. Sometimes the design stands out against a ground of little circles stamped with a metal or bamboo tool. This decoration was often used on Tang metalwork. A variant of the technique used in the 11th century consisted of incising the little circles through the slip, then filling the lines with brick-red paint. The object, generally a pillow or cup, was then glazed. In another type of decoration called sgraffito, two layers of slip were placed one over the other, a brown slip, for example, over a white one, or vice versa over the parts destined for decoration; then the design was drawn by incising and scratching the upper layer, and the whole thing was covered with a transparent glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AUA Oriental Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45861240701184,"sku":"","price":17800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/5297\/6896\/files\/No.276_02_164mm-Photoroom.png?v=1724334281"},{"product_id":"longquan-celadon-tripod-incense-burner-song-dynasty","title":"Rare Longquan Celadon Tripod Incense Burner, Song Dynasty","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe vessel features a compressed body supported by three tapered feet and a flat, outwardly flaring rim.

This unique color comes from the iron oxide in the glaze, which, when fired in a reducing kiln atmosphere, produces the green hue. The thickness of the glaze, as well as the firing conditions, could affect the final shade and appearance of the celadon, with some pieces exhibiting a more crackled texture and others a smoother, glossier finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLongquan celadons were highly prized for their beauty and durability, making them popular both domestically within China and internationally.

The creation of these ceramics involved the application of a rich, dark glaze, typically achieved using iron oxide. This glaze was applied over a stoneware or porcelain body, then fired at high temperatures to produce a glossy, dark finish ranging from deep brown to black. Notable techniques included the \"tea-dust\" glaze, which exhibited a speckled appearance, and the \"oil-spot\" glaze, characterized by small, iridescent spots. The high-temperature firing process was crucial for achieving the desired glaze effects and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design of black-glazed ceramics often included intricate carvings, incised, or molded decorations. Common forms included bowls, vases, jars, and ceramic pillows. These pillows, used as headrests, featured detailed designs such as floral patterns, animals, and mythical creatures. An example of this is a black-glazed ceramic pillow from the Jin dynasty, which features carvings of two lions. Similar pieces can be found in the Guanfu Museum, where black-glazed pillows depicting the Twelve Zodiac Animals are displayed.

Common themes include floral patterns, such as peonies or chrysanthemums, and more abstract or geometric patterns. The carving is usually done in a 'sgraffito' technique, where the design is carved into the clay and then filled with the glaze, which after firing, reveals the pattern in a contrasting color against the darker body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forms of Yaozhou ceramics are often practical – including bowls, dishes, and jars – reflecting their use in daily life as well as for special occasions. The quality of the glaze, which ranges from a matte finish to a more glossy appearance, and the depth of the carving are particular characteristics that help identify Yaozhou wares. The aesthetic appeal of these ceramics lies in the harmony between form, decoration, and glaze, demonstrating the potters' skilled control over their craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Northern Song period, Yaozhou wares were highly valued and widely used, and they continued to influence Chinese ceramics in subsequent dynasties.
