Yuan Dynasty Longquan Vase, ca.AD1279-1368
A small Yuan dynasty Longquan vase, ca.A.D.1279-1368. Dimensions are approximately 6" tall, by 4-3/4" wide. The small vase is quite masculine in form, with a short and stout body. The should has 3 hand-formed loops. The neck is very broad and sharply flares to a even broader mouth rim. First introduced during the Song dynasty (ca). The longquan kilns were active from the Song dynasty until the early Qing dynasty. This vase was well potted and formed with a "double-bottom". Double-bottom is a translated phrase. In essence the vase has a large rolled outer-foot rim rim (first foot). Within the foot rim, you can see a second glazed bottom (second foot). In essence, this vase' body was made in 2 separate stages. First the main body was formed, with an opening in the inner foot. Secondly, a small "plate" was placed over the opening. The plate's glaze adhered and sealed it to the main body during firing. We are not sure if each piece is glazed and fired separately or together. It is also not know why the Yuan potters made these double-bottom designs. In any event, this style of double-bottom is only found in Yuan ware. The overall condition consensus is very fine without any injury or repair.a2/9
