Sherds of Song Dynasty


These are a few of the Song or Sung Dynasty sherds that I've collected these couple of years.  I'm saving these for some architectural project in the far far future. From Lonquan celadons, to bluish Northern Song and to brownish Southern Song, these shards represent actually the variety of ceramics that's buried underneath the Philippine soil.  Collecting these are more for personal enjoyment knowing that long ago, these were used by precolonial Filipinos.  In these you tend to appreciate the potting, the glaze, the cracleur and the art of Chinese ceramics.
