Bidspirit auction | Cizhou-type vessel in glazed stoneware,

Cizhou-type vessel in glazed stoneware, Yuan school of China, 13th-14th century - Porcelain stoneware with white glaze and black iron oxide decoration. Measures 30.5 cm in height. The vessel has an ovoid body and a tall, flared neck supported by a small ring-shaped foot. It is covered with a thick, milky-white glaze decorated with stylized floral motifs painted in black underglaze. The ornamental composition alternates between linear bands and broad vegetal patterns executed with a free and expressive brushstroke, characteristic of Cizhou productions from the Yuan period. The surface shows wear, minor glaze losses, and burial marks that accentuate its historical authenticity. The contrast between the light background and the dark graphic design creates a strikingly modern visual vibrancy, where the spontaneity of the brushstrokes takes center stage aesthetically. The piece synthesizes the technical mastery and decorative freedom typical of the popular kilns of northern China during the Mongol era, standing out for the graphic power of its ornamentation and the balanced elegance of its silhouette. 30.5 cm in height.
