SOUTHERN SONG DYNASTY (1127-1279)

The present lot is accompanied by a Japanese wood box. The underside of the cover bears an inscription signed by Ryoichi Fujioka (1909-1991), who was the former chief curator at the Kyoto National Museum, and an eminent scholar on Chinese ceramics. He was also one of the contributing authors to the well-respected publication on Chinese ceramics Sekai Toji Zenshu.
