This vase has a naturalistic, celadon jade-like and extremely thick glaze, and is simplistic in decoration, with 2 slightly raised circles around the upper and lower parts of the neck and 3 around the waist.  Song porcelain masters strove to achieve naturalism and simplicity in order to reflect the taste of Song emperor Hui Zhong.  A square handle with attached ring is placed on each side of the neck.  However, due to thickness of the glaze and difficulty in controlling firing temperature, the molten glaze spread and covered not only the holes of the handle but also glue the ring to the neck.  These are very important characteristics of Song Guan wares and can be used as a criterion for identifying Guan wares.  After a thousand years of aging the glaze has completely lost the glassy shine of newly fired porcelain.  Under 25X magnification, the glaze surface shows numerous tiny holes that are filled with yellowish clay intrusion.  Also can be seen are the white and dark green micro-granules/crystals suspending in a grayish-green medium.  These microscopic features distinguish the genuine Guan wares from later imitations and from most Long-Chuen celadons, both of which contain numerous bubbles, instead of micro-granules.  Most of Guan wares are very small, usually 10 to 25 cm. ; the size of this vase is consistent with this common characteristic of  Song Guan wares.  This vase can be used as a reference for comparison in study of early Song Guan porcelain.   H: 5 5/8 in.     (Dr. Robert I-San Lin Collection 2806, brought to California in 1960s.  Dr. Lin’s biography available on request.) 

宋官窯粉青雙耳啣環玉壺春瓶 . 此瓶胎灰白色、粉青釉極厚,由於千年的老化,釉面己完全失去新仿瓷的火氣賊光 .25 倍放大可見釉中有無數的小晶體粿粒懸浮在灰綠色的基質中,這是宋官窯釉的特徵,後仿宋官窯大都沒有粿粒只有氣泡,這是真假主要的不同 , 也是宋官窯與龍泉瓷的主要分別,典型龍泉瓷釉中多泡。同時也見到由於1000 年的 歲月磨成的許多小孔,孔中充滿黃泥狀的汚染 . 造型紋飾古樸,符合北宋徽宗的自然美術 覌 . 僅頸上下端各飾弦線一條,腹飾弦線三週 . 是有意仿青玉,也很像半 拋光的青玉瓶 . 宋官窯器主要是小件 ,約 10到 25cm左右,此瓶的體積與宋官窯的特徵相符合. 是難得的宋 官窯 瓷 .
