A CHINESE EARTHENWARE ROOF TILE RE-PURPOSED AS AN INKSTONE.

Western Han Dynasty, the box Qing Dynasty, Daoguang period.

An earthenware roof tile end moulded with an auspicious four-character inscription reading changle weiyang (eternal felicity [happiness] without end) damaged and re-purposed as an inkstone in the form of a peach, carved to the reverse with leaves and branches surrounding the grinding surface in the shape of the auspicious fruit, finished with black lacquer, a hongmu box and cover with a flat base and lipped interior carved to reflect the form of the peach with an attendant branch and leaves to the cover, all contained in a modern box, 18cm across. (4)

Provenance: private American collection acquired in Hong Kong or China between 1950 and 1970s.

西漢(公元前206—公元9年) 瓦硯

清道光(1821-1850) 紅木盒

來源:美國私人收藏,1950—1970年代得於中國。

A complete tile end from the Charlotte C. and John C. Weber Collection now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1994.605.99) is moulded with the same four-character inscription. The website entry for this item says that this inscription is a common auspicious saying during the Western Han dynasty and that Changle and Weiyang were also names of royal palaces in the Han period.

The conversion of an earthenware roof tile end to use of an inkstone is fairly frequently encountered but rarely with the success that has been achieved here. Two Western Han pottery tiles converted for use as inkstones but without the grinding surface being carved to a new design were sold at Christie’s New York, Important Chinese Art from the Fujita Museum, 15th March 2017, lot 519 (US$112,500.00).
