An authentic and rare example of Liao dynasty low fire stoneware inspire by leather wine flask that decorated under transparent crackle amber glaze. Liao dynasty form parallel to Northern Southern dynasty which located at far northern part of China.

The flask vessel has beautiful amber glaze that flow unevenly from the finger pinched handle downward and stop short unevenly near the base. Reddish, course and impurify clay visible from the unglaze foot rim and base. This shortfall has been overcome by Liao potter by applying a white slip on the pottery / porcelain before it was glazed which result in better and more presentable product.

Excavation artefacat remain in its original unclean condition, very strong earth smell when the unglaze base contact with water and is very good water absorbtion. Well balance shape and comfortable to handle. Slight mat glaze on part of the body. Under natural sun light,iridescent visible on the shining glaze surface.

The condition is almost excellent; a tiny unglaze spot at mouth rim follow by a short firing crack between the handle and spout. A few glaze fritting spotted on the crackle glaze body.

This is extremely rare gem that you can find in this condition nowaday !!!
