拍品描述
Expert's note: Undecorated Qingbai ewers of double-gourd form were extensively produced during the Song dynasty, retaining their popularity throughout the Yuan period. The Yuan ewers often show irregular iron-oxide patches applied to the glaze, the lack of which indicates the present lot may be an an earlier example.China, 960-1368. Finely potted, the double-gourd body supported on a slightly tapered foot and rising to a narrow circular mouth, set with an exquisitely modeled handle in the form of a youthful dragon, its furcated tail trailing along the lower body, as well as an elegantly curved spout. The jar surmounted by a slightly domed cover with stem-form finial. Covered overall in a thin pale-blue glaze save for the center of the base.Provenance: From a private collection in Switzerland.Condition: Excellent condition with expected wear and firing irregularities, including light pitting, little kiln grit, occasional dark spots, and minor glaze lines.Weight: 189.2 gDimensions: Height 13.4 cmQingbai ware, or 'green-white' porcelain, represents a major category of Chinese ceramic production during the Song and Yuan dynasties. It is characterized by a translucent glaze that imparts a restrained bluish-green tone. Manufacture was concentrated in Jiangxi province, most notably in Jingdezhen, and Qingbai constituted the earliest instance of porcelain produced on a truly large scale in China.Produced from a refined white body, this ceramic type was coated with a glaze that, when fired, produced a distinctive bluish-green hue. Pine wood served as kiln fuel, creating a reducing atmosphere that played a crucial role in the optical qualities of the glaze. Production addressed funerary contexts, export demand, and domestic consumption across a broad social spectrum, resulting in considerable diversity in form and execution.Literature comparison:Compare a related Qingbai ware ewer and cover with chilong handle, dated to the Yuan dynasty, c. 1300-1340, 13 cm high, sold by Robert Mcpherson Antiques, stock number 23154.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's Hong Kong, 25 May 2022, lot 346 Price: HKD 35,280 or approx.
