Bottle, 12th-13th century, 8 x 5 1/2 in. ( x cm), Stoneware with 'tea-dust' glaze, China, 12th-13th century, This elegant jar is a rare descendant of wares developed in the Yaozhou area of Shansi province during the Tang period (618-907). Although the Yaozhou kilns are most famous for celadons produced during Northern Song (960-1127) and Jin (1115-1234), the region had a longer and more ancient history in the production of black and related wares. Northern 'tea-dust' glazes of this period are extremely rare and take their name from later porcelains
