Dimensions:Height 8cm (3‑1/8in),Mouth Diameter 18cm (7‑1/16in),Song Dynasty,Condition & Provenance:Alright,this is a substantial authentic Song‑period Jian‑ware tea bowl,no major body cracks,no glued‑on repairs,no large‑area restored fills.There is one tiny chip on the upper rim which is original age damage,no modern filling or touching‑up work done on that spot.The whole piece is covered in thick jet‑black iron glaze,rich golden‑brown hare’s‑fur streaks shoot out radially from center all the way up toward the rim,that classic flowing fur‑like texture is formed naturally inside the kiln during high‑heat firing,both inner cavity and outer wall show consistent well‑formed hare’s‑fur glaze effect.The rim carries genuine soft wear marks from centuries of real‑world use,no modern grinding,no repainting,no artificial glaze enhancement.The thick substantial ring foot exposes Jian kiln’s signature iron‑rich coarse reddish‑brown clay body,hand‑thrown concentric spiral turning marks are clearly visible on base plane.Old burial‑type earth patina and fine mineral deposits sit inside foot recess and within glaze micro‑cracks,glaze termination line above foot shows natural uneven glaze shrinkage and minor kiln drip marks,there is zero trace of synthetic chemical artificial aging treatment.This big‑size Jian hare’s‑fur bowl comes from a prominent private collection of Song tea ceramics based in Los Angeles,California,the prior collector obtained this vessel from a respected Taipei antique gallery in the mid‑1990s,it has remained within one single‑family private estate for decades of inheritance and this is its very first time offered for public auction,Description:Wheel‑thrown large‑size Jian‑kiln tea bowl,one of the most iconic Song‑dynasty tea‑ceramic works,it features broad flared‑rim deep‑bowl silhouette and sturdy thick ring foot,ideal for Song‑dynasty whisked‑tea competitive tea‑game practice.The potters applied heavy iron‑rich black glaze on the whole bowl,when fired under precise high‑temperature kiln environment,iron oxide separated and flowed out to create those distinctive golden‑brown radial hare’s‑fur streaks against deep black glaze ground,each hair‑like line is spontaneous and cannot be fully replicated by man‑made work.Glaze stops above foot ring to fully expose heavy iron‑saturated coarse Jian‑ware clay body,hand‑throwing spiral traces on base faithfully record ancient Jian workshop production details.Hare’s‑fur Jian bowls were hugely favored by Song emperors,scholars and tea enthusiasts.This sizable well‑preserved example perfectly reflects top‑tier Jian kiln firing craftsmanship,it acts as an important authentic artifact for studying Song iron‑glaze firing technology,imperial tea‑drinking custom and elite aesthetic culture,
