New Forms – Song/Yuan
Littleton & Hennessy Asian Art’s upcoming exhibition is titled ‘New Forms – Song/Yuan’. It focuses on the new and distinct shapes, forms and the often experimental glazes that we now associate with the Song and Yuan dynasties and that emerged in this period.
Highlights include a rare ‘Cizhou’ painted jar (Song/Jin dynasty) from an important Hong Kong collector, previously sold and published by Littleton & Hennessy Asian Art in 2003, an extremely rare reticulated ‘Longquan’ bottle vase (Yuan dynasty) from a private Asian collection and a rare ‘Longquan’ Guan-type censer (Southern Song/Yuan dynasty).
