Rare Chinese Black Glazed Ding Ware Moon Flask

Potted as a moon flask with flattened body set with a pair foo-lion handles on the shoulder and resting on a recessed splayed foot, covered overall with a lustrous black brown glaze accentuated with subtle russet streaks, the glaze falling above the unglazed footring revealing the white buff body, 10.2 in high.
