拍品描述

Dimensions:Overall Height 18cm(7.09in),Maximum Diameter of Stand 15cm(5.91in),12‑13th century Song‑dynasty Qingbai tea setCondition & Provenance:The cup and stand are original matching set,free of cracks and chips.The original Ying‑Qing glaze is well preserved with dense natural craze across the whole surface.Rim edges show faint yellow earth patina.Unglazed foot sections retain authentic burial‑induced rust‑red discoloration and soil residue.No cracks,no filling repairs and no later over‑glazing.This set originates from a private Song porcelain collector’s collection based in Miami,Florida.The collector acquired this artifact from an antique gallery in Hong Kong in 2019.Original intact Ying‑Qing cup‑and‑stand sets from Song period are scarce;complete assembled sets carry higher collecting and research value than single fragments.Description:This tea‑ware set was fired at Hutian kiln in Song China,composed of a high‑foot tea cup and a tall support stand,representative tea implement for Song whisked‑tea custom.The tea cup features deep rounded bowl body with compact small elevated foot,elegant and well‑proportioned.The matching stand has multi‑layer construction:raised hollow central socket receives the tea cup,decorated by concentric turning ridges,broad outward‑flaring rim and stable trumpet‑shaped tall base.Both pieces are fully covered in soft translucent Ying‑Qing celadon glaze of pale bluish‑white tone,marked by natural age‑related crackle.The exposed foot reveals fine white porcelain body coated with burial soil and iron‑rust discoloration.Ying‑Qing glaze imitates jade texture and represents major southern porcelain achievement in Song dynasty.The stand holds tea cup firmly for heat insulation and elegant presentation.This matched complete set faithfully reflects material culture of Song literati tea ceremony and serves as fine collectible for display.
