EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tea bowl from the 11th-early 12th century, originating in Fujian province, China. Crafted during the Northern Song Dynasty by the skilled hands of the Chinese School, this ceramic masterpiece measures 4.7x11 cm and is now housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The tea bowl belongs to a renowned style known as Jian ware, characterized by its stoneware composition and underfired iron glaze. Its delicate yet sturdy construction reflects both artistic finesse and functional design. The subtle hues and intricate patterns on its surface tell tales of ancient craftsmanship passed down through generations. Gifted to the gallery by Charles Lang Freer, this historical artifact holds immense cultural significance. It serves as a tangible link to China's rich pottery tradition and offers us a glimpse into daily life during one of history's most fascinating periods. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era where sipping tea from such exquisite vessels was not only an act of nourishment but also an expression of elegance and refinement. This print invites us to appreciate not just its aesthetic beauty but also its historical value that transcends centuries.
