Subject:Jun vase
Posted By: James Wed, Sep 20, 2017 IP: 92.20.253.132 I need help identifying this vase. At first it looks really vibrant and modern, but in person it carries a lot of age. I really wouldn't make myself look an idiot and post this vase on here if I thought it wasn't interesting. |

Posted By: Bill H Sun, Sep 24, 2017 Makuzu Kozan lent the Japanese much knowledge about reproducing early Chinese glazes, and Shiwan seems to do a good job of making them too. Here are some images of a circa 1960's Japanese vase of similar form but less appealing color inspired by Jun glazes. Also, some views of what I believe is a Shiwan tripod censer that may be 19th century but seems to lack enough signs of age to be a candidate for Juntai origins. I can't say conclusively from your photos but have the impression that your vase may be potted somewhat thinly, like my modern Japanese example. The Shiwan piece and others I've seen, like the Sotheby's censer at the link, seem to be rather thickly potted. |

Posted By: James Mon, Sep 25, 2017 More information about this vase: 8.5", I would like to stress unlike modern glazes with crackle when you run your fingernail across the glaze you don't notice the individual cracks, with the glaze on this vase, you feel every crackle and the glaze itself has become loose from only what I can conclude as the vase swelling and shrinking from years of different environments it's been in. Like I've said, the glaze is lifting and even the edges of the pieces of crackle are getting their edges worn. The colour of the crackle is also obviously natural build-up and not something which is seen on modern crackle glazes. |
