Period:Yuan dynasty Production date:1300-1330 (circa)
Materials:porcelain
Technique:celadon-glazed
Dimensions:Diameter: 7.70 centimetres Height: 7.90 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain stem cup with iron-oxide brown splodges and green glaze. This deep stem cup has an everted rim and a flared stem. It is covered inside and out with a broad-bean (grey-green) glaze with haphazard brown splodges. The celadon glaze has eroded in four places on one side of the cup, revealing a pale grey body typical of Zhejiang celadons. The foot ring is unglazed but it is glazed inside the stem. Brown splodges are achieved by deliberately applying iron-rich pigment to the vessel beneath the glaze.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:A variety of Yuan ceramics were made using this method of decoration, including ewers, pear-shaped ‘yuhuchun’ bottles, baluster vases, meiping, small dishes, covered jars and bowls. A potiche jar and small dish with iron-brown splodges on a celadon glaze were recovered from the cargo of the Sinan wreck datable to c. 1323.Such a small cup was probably made for a potent spirit. Toasting in wine is fundamental to a number of Chinese rituals but was also part of everyday secular life.
