This is a very nice little Ge style brush pot with the large black and smaller brown crackles typical of the early Chinese pottery. (# - see footnote). The small squat round pot measures 2 ½” diameter and is 1 ¼” high. The piece is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. We believe it dates from the late Qing period, circa 1875-1910. # - Footnote - Ge ware originated in China during the Yuan dynasty(1279 to 1368 AD). It basically comprised of two types—one with a ‘warm rice-yellow glaze and two sets of crackles, a more prominent set of darker color interspersed with a finer set of reddish lines (called chin-ssu t’ieh-hsien or ‘golden floss and iron threads’), which can seen in this brush pot. Its crackle pattern is exaggerated, often standing out in bold black. The other Ge ware is much like Guan ware, with grayish glaze and one set of crackles. Enthusiasm for it persisted throughout the Ming - Wen Zhenheng , (1585–1645)a major Ming dynasty scholar - preferred it to all other types of porcelain, in particular for brush washers and water droppers. Ge is believed to have also been produced at Jingdezhen. |
