Treasured Porcelain from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279 AD.) Glimmering from Ancient Era Every piece tells a fabulous story Rare Song Dynasty Yaozhou Kiln Porcelain Plate with incised flower pattern Yaozhou PORCELAIN Private kilns were found nearly everyw in Shaanxi, but the best known of them was the one at Yaozhou (now the city of Tongchuan). One of the most famous varieties of Chinese porcelain, Yaozhou ware was first made during the Tang Dynasty and attained a very high level of achievement in the Northern Song period (AD). They have a hard body and an olive-green glaze, which is highly translucent and sometimes has fine crackles. The ware is particularly noted for its emphasis on simplicity of form and delicate incised decoration, combined sometimes with comb-tooth patterns. The incised designs show a sense of balance, are nearly executed, look forceful, and has a singular freedom of line. The motifs are varied, and the designs elaborate. They usually have a regular, graceful and antique shape. Some classical history books praise Yaozhou ware "as fine as gold-filled articles and as exquisite as jade carvings". The white porcelain manufactured later by the Yaozhou kiln has a thin-walled, milky-white body covered with clear glaze, and has designs lightly incised or painted in greenish-blue slip. It is unique also in its neat, bold and free artistic style and its rich natural colors which are very attractive. The Yaozhou ware of Chengcheng, which was popular in the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, is covered with a black glaze. They are usually decorated with floral, bird and other small animal designs. Some porcelain wares are yellowish-gray in color, bearing a strong resemblance to the unearthed classic wares. They have a glossy and smooth glaze and are decorated with figural or floral motifs.
