(7.94 x 24.13 cm), Light brown nephrite intentionally burned darker, China, 17th century, This bowl is an excellent example of intentional color alteration practiced during the late Ming dynasty. Toward the end of the sixteenth century, jade began to be quarried in the K'un-lun mountains near Khotan. This 'mountain jade' was considered inferior in color to other types, so a practice developed of staining certain areas of the finished carving to increase its value. Iron-rich compounds were apparently used to create various shades of brown and black. Old literature also mentions burning jade as a way of altering color, and this nephrite bowl has most likely been treated with a combination of these techniques. The deeply carved melon and butterfly motif on the interior, symbolic of prosperity, is similar to designs found in carved lacquer ware of this same period.Bowl with Bunjang Design.

Date: second half 17th century or later.This bowl along with a bottle (91.1.131) are part of a group of Iranian ceramics known as Gombroon ware, named after a trading post on the south coast of Iran. Ideally situated, the port was frequented by both the Dutch and English East India Companies and served as an entrepot for ceramics and other luxury goods into Europe. The style of Gombroon ceramics and their role in international trade reflect the significant artistic, cultural, and economic ties that existed between China, Iran, and Europe in the seventeenth century.Like much of Iranian ceramic production from the ninth century onward, Gombroon wares sought to emulate Chinese ceramics, which were especially prized, not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their unique technical qualities. Gombroon ware is characterized by incised lines that serve to emphasize the thinness of the walls --Bowl. Culture: Coptic. Dimensions: Overall: 1 5/8 x 4 1/2 in. (4.1 x 11.4 cm).

(9.05 x 15.4 cm), Kuang-yuan ware Stoneware with black glaze with mottled russet markings in overglaze iron oxide, China, 12th century, Appearing almost black, a lustrous dark brown glaze covers the interior and exterior of this beautifully formed bowl. The lip is edged in a russet color, and large portions of the body boast radiant patterns of russet markings. The varied glaze finishes result from the use of different iron bearing solutions. The density and color of the clay and type of cut foot indicate that this bowl most likely came from the Guangyuan kilns in north-central Sichuan province. The vessel was dipped three times in iron-rich glaze compounds to achieve the beautiful combination of velvety black and brown mottles.Terracotta cup early 7th century B.C.

Sasanian This small glass vessel is mostly preserved, with shallow, slightly sloping sides and a preserved pontil mark on its bottom. A pontil mark is left behind from the place where a rod would have been attached to the hot glass. Having this type of mark indicates that the glass was blown freehand and not in a mold (which does not use the rod). Originally a clear glass, this piece is covered with an opaque greenish yellow oxidation. Glass found in excavations has often gone through a process of decay that changes its surface color. Glass was widely produced and used during the Sasanian period. Although colorless glass was highly valued, the majority of glass finds are slightly tinted, usually greenish or yellow tint, although reddish and brown tints also occur. Glass finds from this period include a variety of types such as small cosmetic containers, serving vessels, and drinking glasses. This piece was excavated from a house at the site of Maaridh II Bowl with the coat of arms of the Tokugawa family; Toyota Masanobu; 3. W. 19th century (1851-00-00-1875-00-00);Bowl -Dish.

The piece is an example of ceramics produced in south China near the Southern Song capital of Hangzhou to re-create imperial wares produced earlier in the north: delicate cracks, sometimes known as crazing, are one of the hallmarks of the famed, and rare, Ru ware produced for the Northern Song court.
