拍品描述
A RARE COPPER-RED GLAZED WATER POT, PINGGUO ZUN, KANGXI MARK AND PROBABLY OF THE PERIOD (1662–1722)
Expert’s note: The present lot clearly distinguishes itself from the usual late 19th century wares by its magnificent crushed strawberry glaze, which is well-controlled and even, only mutating to a fine liver tone in two distinct areas. Also note the remarkable pale celadon corona circling the foot, another obvious hallmark of an early 18th-century glaze.

Of classic pingguo zun form, the compressed globular body deeply depressed after the wide shoulders to create an overturned channel and rising to a low waisted neck and lipped rim. The exterior covered with a rich glaze of crushed-strawberry tone thinning to a paler shade at the shoulder and to a distinct pale celadon corona circling the foot, the sides with two circular patches of a darker liver-red tone. The rim, interior, and base covered in a transparent glaze. The recessed base with an underglaze-blue six-character mark da Qing Kangxi nianzhi and probably of the period.

Provenance: From a noted private collection in Geneva, Switzerland, assembled since the 1960s, and thence by descent. An important part of this collection was on permanent loan and exhibited over several decades at the Asia-Africa Museum in Geneva. The base lacquered with an old inventory number, ‘AMA-2866’, and further with two old labels, one reading ‘Art Ancien de Chine & Extrême-Orient Genève. Kang Shi. 1662-1722. 2866’ and the other inscribed with further inventory numbers. The wood stand with two old labels, ‘AMA 2866’ and ‘4096/2 […] imperiale’. According to the collector’s personal notes, the present lot was acquired on 30 April 1973 from Wing Po Chai (probably in Hong Kong). A copy of the corresponding entry in the collector’s notebook accompanies this lot.
Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear and minor firing irregularities, minute fritting and small smoothened areas to the foot, probably inherent to the manufacture. The glaze with an unctuous feel and subtle luster overall.

Weight: 249.6 g (excl. stand)
Dimensions: Diameter 9.5 cm (at the widest points)

With a finely carved and open worked wood stand. (2)

Water pots for washing brushes were designed to be placed on a Chinese scholar's desk. This form is known as pingguo zun (apple jar), of which there are two variations: ones with a short waisted neck and lipped rim, such as the present lot, and ones with an incurved rounded neck. The form of the present lot is the classic, earlier, and considerably rarer variation.

The use of copper-red glaze at Jingdezhen was revived by the Kangxi Emperor after a decline in usage during the late 15th century. With the effort to reproduce classic Ming jihong ('sacrificial red') porcelains, Qing copper-red pieces quickly outnumbered their Ming counterparts. Nigel Wood in Chinese Glazes, London, 1999, p. 180, notes how the French Jesuit missionary, Fran?ois Xavier d’Entrecolles (1664-1741), wrote letters giving detailed accounts of the copper-red production at Jingdezhen, the sourcing of the copper for the glaze, the recipes and the kiln location of the firing of these wares. Père d’Entrecolles was aware of the difficulties involved in the making of copper-red wares and his account confirms the high level of technical knowledge of the potters at Jingdezhen.

Valenstein, A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics, New York, 1989, page 237, fig. 238.

專家注釋:本拍品與十九世紀末常見的瓷器明顯不同,其華麗的紅釉控制得當,均勻,僅在兩個不同的區域轉變為細膩的牛肝紅色。另請注意環繞足部的顯著淡青色暈圈,這是十八世紀早期釉料的另一個明顯標誌。

銅紅釉在十五世紀後期使用量下降後,康熙皇帝在景德鎮又恢復了使用。隨著努力複製經典的明代祭紅釉瓷器,清代銅紅瓷器的數量迅速超過了明代。Nigel Wood 在Chinese Glazes,倫敦,1999年,頁180,注意到法國耶穌會傳教士 Fran?ois Xavier d'Entrecolles (1664-1741)寫信詳細說明景德鎮的銅紅釉的來源、配方和窯址。Père d’Entrecolles 知道製作紅銅器的困難,他的敘述證實了景德鎮陶工的高水平技術知識。
