50 - Monochrome turquoise Yunjao cup, Chinese School, Yuan Dynasty, 13th–14th century

Monochrome turquoise Yunjao cup, Chinese School, Yuan Dynasty, 13th–14th century Porcelain stoneware with a thick, monochrome turquoise glaze. Measures 4.5 x 9 cm. A small cylindrical coupelle on a crowned base, characterized by its refined formal simplicity and the depth of its translucent glaze in bluish and greenish tones. The interior surface displays subtle chromatic variations and fusion effects that evoke abstract landscapes and natural mineral formations, lending the piece great visual richness. The piece reflects the Chinese ceramic tradition of the Yuan Dynasty, in which the purity of form and the quality of the glazes constituted a highly sophisticated aesthetic language. The silky texture and chromatic harmony underscore the technical excellence of the shaping and firing, making this work a delicate example of the Eastern sensibility toward matter and emptiness. 4.5 x 9 cm.
