    The Barlow Collection

    Copying a Song dynasty (AD 960–1279) tea bowl, this piece lacks the slightly rough aspect of the originals, is too thinly potted, and the shape is exaggerated in its proportions. The glossy glaze and this particular colour effect are also uncharacteristic of the Song dynasty, and brown stonewares of this period were not generally fired on spurs. The piece is similar to another in the Barlow collection [LI1301.250].

    The bowl is thinly potted, of wide everted, conical form, slightly flared towards the rim, and with a tiny straight foot. The highly glossy brown glaze has overall rust-brown spots, the base is glazed, the footring unglazed and shows five spurmarks.
