Dr. Johan Carl Kempe (1884-1967) Collection, Sweden. Early Chinese White, Green and Black Wares; Sotheby's London, 14 May 2008, lot 208.
The bluish or yellowish-white splashes that decorate dark brown-glazed wares of this type are applied after the initial glazing, often poured onto the piece as it is held in a sideways or inverted position so that the splashes trail decoratively down the body. Compare the similar ewer dated to the Tang dynasty (AD 618-907) in the Collection of Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - 31 - Porcelain of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, Hong Kong, 1996, p. 211, no. 196.
