Rare Chinese pottery house with green glaze and silvery surface, decorated with beautiful overhanging roof, two windows and supported by six legs in the shape of bears.
Lead glaze with copper is the main colorant used in Han period to produce green glaze. Greenware became popular during the Eastern Han period. The silvery surface is also called "mercury glaze". This silvery precipitation is the result of chemical changes in the lead glaze caused by prolonged burial in the tomb. Age: China, Han Dynasty, circa 206 B.C. - A.D. 220
