Very fine and rare Yuan/Ming Longquan celadon molded figure of Budai with some carved modification on unglazed portion in perfect condition. I have included an enlargement of a more typical Longquan celadon (bowl #2383) to compare the glazes, which are identical. Longquan figures are quite rare and difficult to authenticate, comparing the glazes leaves no doubt. W: 9.4cm/3.5in and H: H: 8.5cm/3.8in.

Fine early Yuan Dynasty Longquan celadon bowl with incised lotus pattern. There is a quirky firing hairline that circumnavigates the footrim and is mirrored on the incised medallion border inside, (see enlargements). I can only surmise that the potter accidentally created a kind of stress fault when carving this, I have let sit overnight full of water and this piece does not leak a drop, otherwise in perfect original condition. D: 16cm/6.5in and H: 6.3cm/2.5in.

Fine and rare Yuan Dynasty azure glazed Jun bowl with purple splash, perfect condition. Please compare the bubbles and cracalature with examples from the Taipei National Palace Museum in last enlargements, the bubbles on this piece are smaller and harder to see but have the typical “honey” color of old Jun. Jun was considered one of the official wares of the Northern Song dynasty and it should be noted that the in the Taipei collection they have reassessed the dating of Junyao to date only fr ...click for details

Fine and rare Yuan Dynasty azure glazed Jun bowl with purple splash and completely glazed to the footrim. There are few tiny hairlines on the mouthrim actually (actually only one plainly visible-the other two are so small as to be impossible to photograph) noted in enlargements and two bubble burst defects in center.

Beautiful and red glazed censer from the Dehua kiln, the same one that produces the Blanc de Chine white porcelain. This is an early Qing piece-Yongzheng/Qianlong and guaranteed to be of that period. As this has different shades of red ranging from sang de boeuf to peachbloom, simply describing as red seems the most apropos. There is one very fine hairline, plainly visible only on the edge the rim which extends about 1 cm down the side and can only be seen with a loupe. H: 7.2cm/2.9in and D: 11. ...click for details

Fine and rare Jin Dynasty Yaozhou celadon hexagonal saucer with impressed fish and ocean design, the petaled shape of this piece is more in the style of Northern Song but the Jin tended towards a darker and thicker glaze. In perfect condition except for two chips on the foot, please note enlargement #4 the color of the clay is a classic example of a Yaozhou kiln ceramic. Last two enlargements contain examples of similar pieces for reference: Yaozhou Kiln, Shaanxi Travel & Tourism Press. D: 1 ...click for details

Fine and rare late Tang Dynasty shoe shaped inkstone, so named because it resembled the clog type shoe of the time. An historical aside; much of what is found in Japanese culture today traces its origins to ancient Tang Chinese culture. There is a flaw noted in enlargement #7, difficult to tell if it is a filled chip or just some impurity in the clay as it is quite hard and appears to be fired also has a very small chip noted in enlargement #8.
