JIN DYNASTY, 12TH-13TH CENTURY

The finely potted form and smooth creamy glaze are characteristic of wares made at the Huozhou kilns in Shanxi province. The five tiny spur marks on the interior of this bowl are also typical of these wares, which were fired on spurs as opposed to stacking on unglazed rings. For a few other examples of this type of Huozhou ware see R. Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. 1, London, 1994, pp. 276-77, nos. 509-512.
