拍品描述
China, 960-1279. Well potted with deep rounded sides supported on a short foot with a recessed base and rising to a gently incurved rim, covered overall with a thick, finely crackled glaze of sky-blue tone thinning to mushroom at the rim, subtly decorated with a single small splash of dark-green copper oxide, and unevenly stopping short above the foot to reveal the reddish-buff ware.Provenance: C. T. Loo, Paris, 1965. Collection of Docteur Rouyère, Pau, France, acquired from the above and thence by descent. A copy of the original invoice from C. T. Loo, signed by Janine Emmanuel Loo, dated 9 November 1965, addressed to Docteur Rouyère, confirming the dating above, accompanies this lot. A copy of the collector's notes for the present lot handwritten by the previous owner, confirming the provenance above and stating a purchase price of FRF 3,600 or approx. EUR 7,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. Ching Tsai Loo (1880-1957) was an eminent Chinese art dealer and connoisseur who played a pivotal role in introducing Chinese art and antiquities to the Western world during the early 20th century. In 1902, Loo relocated to Paris, which became the center of his operations and where he established his first gallery, Loo & Co., in 1908. His business expanded to New York, where he opened a gallery on Fifth Avenue in 1927. He became a central figure in the international art market, dealing in Chinese antiquities, including sculptures, ceramics, and bronzes. In 1946, Loo transferred the management of the Paris business to his youngest daughter Janine Emmanuel Loo (1920-2013), the wife of French poet Pierre Emmanuel (1916-1984). In 1952, his associate Frank Caro (1904-1980) took over daily operations of the New York business. Until his death in 1957, Loo continued to play a large role in both companies. Loo's work profoundly influenced the collections of major Western museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, and the British Museum.Condition: Good condition with expected wear and manufacturing irregularities including a small firing crack below the rim with associated glaze flaking, few minor old chips to the foot.Weight: 240.0 gDimensions: Diameter 10.8 cmThe lustrous sky-blue glaze of this bowl, which shows an almost jewel-like gloss, is traditionally considered the most desirable color of monochrome Jun wares. The simple, well-rounded shape of this piece, with wide open mouth and narrow foot, displays this unctuous, flawless coating to best advantage. One of the Five Classic Wares (wu da yao) of the Song dynasty, Jun ware was much admired over the centuries by both Chinese and Western connoisseurs for the beautiful depth and intensity of its glaze, which varies from a thick opaque sky blue to brilliant mauves, lavenders, and blues. It was discovered in the 1980s that this blue tone was not created by pigments but is actually an optical effect. During firing, the glaze separates into light-scattering droplets of glass and when light passes through this 'glass emulsion' the blue spectrum of light is reflected, giving the ware its bright blue color. The thickness of the glaze is a critical factor in creating these optical blues. It has been thought that this was a consequence of multiple glaze layers, but analyses of sectioned shards done at the kiln sites indicate that only a single layer is applied and that the depth of glaze is attributable to the thick body, as water from the glaze is absorbed by the porous biscuit, resulting in a more substantial covering.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related Junyao bowl, dated to the Northern Song dynasty, early 12th century, 10.5 cm diameter, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 20.45, illustrated in Suzanne G.
