Glazed Ceramic Pillow  is an original manufacture realized in China during the  Liao Dynasty .

Original ivory-colored glaze ceramic with a non-glazed base.

Provenance : Ambassador Francesco Rausi Private Collection.

The work presents an oval base with the figure of a crouched lion. The lion holds up the headrest; it is an oval base too, convex and with molded short sides. It is covered with ivory glaze; the base is not glazed and has a hole in the center.

Original manifacturer produced during the Liao Dynasty   (907–1125).  The pottery produced in Manchuria under the Liao occupation continued the tradition of Tang whiteware and three-colored ware.  Liao potters produced their own unique shapes, which included long-necked vases, cockscomb vessels, ewers with phoenix-headed mouths, and flattened flasks made in imitation of animal-hide bags for liquor or milk.
