Nota de aplicación

Style of ceramic ware produced in Hangzhou in Zheijang province after the Song dynasty established its court there following the invasion of Kaifeng in 1127. Guan (‘official’) wares replaced and to an extent imitated the Ru wares that had been favored by the last two Northern emperors. Guan pieces have a thin, iron-rich body, and a distinctive crackled glaze ranging in color from blue-green to greenish-gray.
