[Longquan Kiln Glazed Li Type Tripod Stove]

Longquan Kiln Glazed Li Type Tripod Stove, Song Dynasty, 12.4 cm high, 14.5 cm calibre, 9.2 cm foot pitch
The furnace is flat with folded edges, neck, flat and round belly, and three legs underneath. The shoulder is decorated with a raised string pattern, and the abdomen and the corresponding part of the three feet are decorated with three raised straight lines. The whole body is painted with turquoise glaze, and there is no glaze at the bottom of three feet, which is yellow in color
The glaze color of this furnace is typical plum green, green and elegant. The three prismatic lines protruding from the furnace belly to the foot are originally decorative patterns of imitation bronzes. Because the glaze layer at the bulge is thin and light white, the decorative effect of ribs is formed. Several regular white lines are exposed in the emerald glaze, which is particularly striking. This furnace is modeled after a bronze Li, so it is also known as a Li furnace. It is the best work of Longquan Kiln
