A heavy Cizhou type SGRAFFIATO ( the “scratching” away of a surface to create an image ) vase white ground carved Black/brown Peonies. Original round wood base.
A fine replica of Northern Song Dynasty circa AD 960-1127.
The well balanced ovoid body swelling generously before the short straight neck and flat everted mouth rim, finely carved through the black slip to the white-dressed body with six large peony blooms arrayed in two registers flanked by high feathery leaves borne on a continous stem, all between a collar and skirt of wavy overlapping lappets, the lively details of the flowers with combed and double-teardrop hearts within lobed petals confidently incised out, all beneath a clear glaze revealing the grey body within the coarsely cut foot.
This vase was decorated with complex sgraffiato technique with the designs carved through two different types of slip, one brown, one white to achieve this spectacular contrasting effect.
