Pot with Lujun-glaze and Animal-mask Ears

Lujun glaze was created during the Yongzheng era and acquired its name because the surface of the glaze has a fluid appearance with many colors melting together to create a beautiful effect. This pot imitates the appearance of patinated bronze ware. The shoulder portion bear symmetrical animal-mask handles. The body of the vessel is glazed in “lujun” glaze, a combination of dark blue and wathet blue fused together to create an irregular striped pattern.
