拍品描述
Expert's note: The decoration was incised while the clay was still leather-hard, using a deft hand and an angled blade to create the characteristic V-shaped grooves. After glazing, the celadon pooled richly in the recesses while resting thinly on the raised areas, resulting through the nuances of the firing process in a pleasing tonal contrast. The darker, more saturated green in the carved lines creates a refined sense of depth and texture, hallmark traits of the best Yaozhou wares. While Yaozhou bowls of this general pattern are well known, the inclusion of the sagittaria leaf in the present design is rare and distinguishes this example as a work of particular importance.China, 960-1127. Finely potted with deep rounded sides supported on a short spreading foot and rising to a meticulously finger-grooved band below the lipped rim, the interior freely and exquisitely carved with lotus blossom, a furled lotus leaf, and a sagittaria leaf. The bowl is covered inside and out with a finely crackled glaze of olive-green tone, save for the unglazed foot revealing the gray body burnt to reddish-brown in the firing. Provenance: Galerie Beurdeley, Paris, France, 1970. Collection of Docteur Rouyère, Pau, France, acquired from the above and thence by descent. A copy of a letter from Jean-Michel Beurdeley, dated 15 July 1970, in which he offers to sell the present lot to Docteur Rouyère, accompanies this lot.

Galerie Beurdeley was established in 1817 by Jean Beurdeley (1771-1853) as a shop selling curiosities and eventually rose to prominence under his grandson Alfred-Emmanuel-Louis Beurdeley (1847-1919) as the most important Chinese art gallery in Paris. After World War II, the gallery was run by Michel Beurdeley (1911-2012). In the early 1970s, his son Jean-Michel Beurdeley took over operations of the gallery for the next three decades before eventually moving to Thailand in 2001. Jean-Michel is a co-founder of MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum in Chiang Mai and sponsor of the Patsri Bunnag Foundation. He was honored with the French title Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2007 and promoted to Officer in 2018.Condition: Superb condition with minor wear and firing irregularities, few old shallow chips to the foot probably inherent to the manufacture, the rim with two minute glaze bruises. A Yaozhou bowl in such pristine state must be considered extremely rare. Weight: 509 gDimensions: Diameter 21.1 cmThe Yaozhou kilns were located at Huangpuzhen, Tongchuanxian, Shaanxi province, began production of a wide range of wares during the Tang dynasty. The kilns were well placed to use water transportation to the Northern Song capital at Kaifeng, and it is recorded that Yaozhou wares were presented as tribute to the Northern Song court. Both the official Song history and other literary sources mention such tribute gifts. For instance, the official gazetteer during the Yuanfeng era (1078-1085), Yuanfeng jiuyu zhi, mentions fifty sets of tribute ceramics sent to the court from Yaozhou.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 29 May 2013, lot 2216 Price: HKD 300,000 or approx.
