拍品描述
China, late 11th-first half of the 12th century. Of conical shape with flared rim, supported on a short foot, the interior splashed with persimmon brown against a lustrous black glaze thinning towards the rim, and the exterior covered in a persimmon color with few black splashes. The glaze stopping short of the foot to expose the buff ware.Provenance: John Sparks, Ltd., London, 1966. Collection of Docteur Rouyère, Pau, France, acquired from the above and thence by descent. The base with an old label, inscribed 'H.M. […]'. A copy of a handwritten statement, written by the previous owner, confirming the provenance above, and stating an actual value of NF 15,000 (Francs Nouveaux) or approx. EUR 23,100 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. John Sparks began trading as the Japanese Fine Art Depot in 1890 and later established John Sparks Ltd in 1906. Recognized as one of the most respected London dealers in Chinese art, John Sparks supplied an international clientele of collectors, including Queen Mary, from whom the company received the Royal Warrant of Antiquary of Chinese Art in 1926. The next year John Sparks moved to larger premises at 128 Mount Street in Mayfair, London, where it remained until it closed in 1990. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and firing irregularities including minor pitting and little kiln grit to the base, few tiny nicks to the rim, light surface scratches.Weight: 160.9 g Dimensions: Diameter 12.7 cmThis bowl is remarkable for its captivating pattern of irregular russet splashes on the interior, which creates a striking contrast to the lustrous black glaze. Known as zhegu ban, or 'partridge feathers', this pattern evolved from the experimental nature of Song dynasty kilns as they competed in producing wares for the thriving tea market. Bowls covered in a lustrous dark-brown glaze heightened the aesthetic experience of drinking tea, which at the time was energetically whisked to produce a rich white froth.Stonewares coated in rich dark glazes began to be produced in large numbers in the Tang period. The monochromatic glazes soon led the way to painted or splashed designs, which were achieved by either splashing or applying with a brush an iron-oxide slip over the glaze. In the kiln, the gravity would pull the slip downwards creating irregular splashes or streaks. Not only were these wares particularly suitable for drinking whisked tea, the serendipitous nature of their glaze must have captivated the imagination of Song literati.The 'partridge-feather' glaze was produced at many kilns in both northern and southern China, attesting to its popularity. Most examples were made at kilns that produced Cizhou wares, such as the Guantai kilns in Hebei province, the Qinlongsi and Dangyangyu kilns in Henan province.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related 'partridge-feather' bowl, 12.6 cm diameter, dated Northern Song to Jin dynasty, late 11th-first half 12th century, in the Harvard Art Museums, object number 2004.118, and illustrated by Robert D.
