HAN DYNASTY GREEN-GLAZED DOG

China, 206 B.C. – 220 A.D.

 

Han Dynasty Green-Glazed Dog, 206 BC-220 AD

 

 

A rare large Han Dynasty green-glazed pottery dog, well modeled in red pottery (earthenware),

standing four square, wide-eyed and teeth bared, with pointed ears, a curled tail, and wearing a studded harness;

thickly potted and quite heavy

 

Note: The first lead glazes were used during the Han Dynasty.  They fired a deep rich green, which, when

exposed to long periods of moisture,  became an iridescent silvery grey-green.  Only in dryer areas did they

 retain their original brighter coloration.

 

Condition: Well done and stable restoration to the head and harness, with retouching to the green glaze in the leg areas

 

18" High x 13.5” Long x 7" Wide
