汝窯支釘洗
Ht.2cm Wd.12.5cm
This Ru kiln washer has a round mouth with a deep arc wall and a flat bottom. The circle feet are slightly outwardly curled. The outer wall gradually recedes at the bottom feet, forming a beautiful curve at the junction of the bottom feet. There is a nail burn marks on the bottom circumference, and fragrant gray fetal bone can be seen from the branch marks. The carcass is firm and thin. The inside and outside are covered with azure glaze, the glaze surface is full of jade texture, and the light pink ‘purple mouth’ appears in the thin part of the glaze. Ice cracks can be seen on the glaze surface, especially where the glaze buildup on the inner and outer soles is obvious. The glaze is like fat, the sky is green and green, the ice is cracked and clear, and the shape of the vessel is delicate and elegant.
