A Cizhou slip-decorated pillow with stamped and incised decoration

Northern Song dynasty, 11th century
Of bean shape, covered by a layer of white slip incised with a feather-patterned band on the canted side walls and two chrysanthemums in bloom against a stamped 'fish roe' ground across the canted top, the clay fabric exposed in the process burnt a pale brown beneath a colorless glaze that stops unevenly above the flat base.
7 3/4in (19.7cm) long
