Northern Song Dynasty, Dengfeng ware
The ovoid body surmounting a short neck and rolled lip, decorated with horizontal registers of scrolling foliates, cloud heads, leafy stems, and overlapping lotus petals reserved on a ring-punched 'fish-roe' ground, the freely incised lines cutting through the creamy white slip, revealing the reddish-brown slip underneath and all under a clear glaze, the thick ring foot unglazed and enclosing a recessed base.

Charles Beecher Warren, Ambassador to Japan (1920-1923) and Mexico (1924), had a distinguished career in law. He visited Korea, Manchuria, and Peking at the end of 1922 while serving as the Ambassador to Japan. At the young age of 26, he was made Associate Counsel for the United States in the appeal of a settlement of the Behring Sea against the Great Britain. Over a decade later, he was tasked in a similar case representing the United States on a border dispute of the New England coast. After served in the First World War, Warren contributed to war relief and won international decorations for his efforts. Warren had a long association with Detroit and resided in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, in his later years.
The present vase is a classic example of Dengfeng ware, produced in northern Henan province from the 10th to 12th century. Known for its elegant potting and sgraffiato lines over a white slip, the ring-punched 'fish roe' ground closely resembles Tang dynasty silver work. Compare the meiping vase of closely-related form and design in the collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, illustrated by Yutaka Mino, , Indianapolis, 1980, pp. 60-61, pl. 18.
