拍品描述
A RARE BLACK-GLAZED ‘OIL SPOT’ WASHER, 18TH CENTURY

China. The bowl features a compressed body supported by a short, broad foot, rising to an incurved lipped rim. It is almost entirely covered in a rich silvery black glaze that fades to an olive-russet tone in a spiral pattern along the interior, accented by distinct oil spotting both inside and out. The unglazed foot rim reveals the underlying buff ware. Notably, the glaze has pooled irregularly on one side inside the well, a result of the vessel being fired in an upright position.

Provenance: From the collection of Dr. Wou Kiuan. Wou Lien-Pai Museum, coll. no. T.C.128. Dr. Wou Kiuan (1910-1997) was a Chinese diplomat and noted scholar of Chinese art. His father, Wou Lien-Pai (1873-1944), was one the leading political figures of early 20th century China, remembered for his role as speaker and leader of parliament during the turbulent years of the Republican era. Dr. Wou himself embarked on an illustrious career in diplomacy until his retirement in 1952, when he settled in London and devoted the rest of his life to the study of Chinese art. It was no doubt fortuitous that Dr. Wou’s years of collecting coincided with an abundant availability of exceptional Chinese art on the London market. From the mid-1950s to the late 1960s he was able to form a collection of well over 1,000 works that together represented virtually every category of Chinese art. At the heart of Dr. Wou’s drive to collect was a burning desire to preserve the relics of China’s rich historical past scattered across Europe, and to promote Chinese art and culture. It is unclear when Dr. Wou conceived of the idea to create a place to house his collection, but in 1968 he opened the doors to the Wou Lien-Pai Museum, named in honor of his father. Over the years the Museum became a ‘must see’ destination for collectors, academics, and visiting dignitaries, and Dr. Wou would delight in leading his visitors through the galleries, recounting stories of China’s glorious history.
Condition: Very good condition with some old wear and firing irregularities including few glaze recesses and burst bubbles. Occasional light scratches, the foot with minor chips and small nicks.

Weight: 417.5 g
Dimensions: Diameter 15.7 cm

The 18th century witnessed a renewed interest in, and technical rediscovery of, forms and glazes from the Song dynasty. This revival symbolized a connection to the moral virtues of that era and served as a means for the Manchu Qing dynasty to assert their appreciation and understanding of Han Chinese scholarship and culture. However, Qing adaptations of the legendary ‘oil-spot’ glaze, like their Song dynasty counterparts, remain exceedingly rare.
