DescriptionTea bowl of Jian Type. Brown glaze "rabbit's hair" on brown pottery glaze. Stoneware with Temmoku glaze. 7/18/51 J. Plumer: Found this piece of interest. Said it was Chien ware. From the kiln site at Shui-chi, on the Chien river. Rim shows where it stuck to sagger. In a piece not from kiln site this would have been smoothed down and perhaps fitted with a rim. If I understood Mr. P. correctly he excavated at the above site about 1935.ProvenanceMiss Mabel Carleton Gage, Worcester, MA.
