Tea Bowl and Stand, 10th-11th century, 1 11/16 x 5 9/16 in. ( x cm), Yaozhou ware Stoneware with persimmon glaze, China, 10th-11th century, This shallow, conical bowl has an elegantly curled rim and a rich rust-colored glaze that thins to reveal a subtle brown underglaze. Best known during Northern Song for their celadon-glazed stoneware, the Yaozhou kilns in Shanxi province also produced black and russet-glazed vessels like this one. These so-called persimmon glazed wares were fired at temperatures slightly higher than the celadons resulting in pieces that are hard and resonant
