北宋/金 黑釉棱線紋雙繫罐Provenance: an American private collectionSotheby's New York, 13 September 2016, lot 140An important European private collection來源:北美私人舊藏紐約蘇富比,2016年9月13日,拍品編號140歐洲重要私人收藏Notable for its large, wide-mouthed globular body and its lustrous dark glaze, the present jar is a remarkable example of Cizhou-type wares produced at numerous kilns in Henan, Hebei and Shandong Provinces in North China during the twelfth century. The attractive ribs were meticulously applied in slip onto the surface of the vessel before the application of the glaze, creating a striking contrast between the raised ridge and the convex areas with the darker glaze. Dark-glazed, high-fired ceramic vessels were highly regarded as solid, practical wares. Their production began during the Tang dynasty (618-907) and rapidly spread throughout China. The development of black wares during the Northern Song period (960-1127) appears to have been inspired by contemporaneous plain lacquerware, and different kilns developed their own styles. Ribs made of white slip were first used on ceramics during the Tang dynasty in imitation of lacquer and silver; later they were added to the exterior body of the vessel during the tenth and eleventh century and ribbing finally emerged as an important tool of decoration in its own right by the twelfth century.A nearly-identical black-glazed ribbed jar, Northern Song to Jin period, in the Arthur M.Sackler Museum, Cambridge MA, is illustrated in Hare's Fur, Tortoiseshell and Partridge Feathers, Cambridge MA, 1995, p.176, no.61.A similar but slightly smaller black-glazed ribbed jar, Northern Song/Jin dynasty, in the New Orleans Museum of Art, is illustrated in Heaven and Earth Seen Within, New Orleans, 2000, no.30; another example in the British Museum, London is illustrated by J.Wirgin, Sung Ceramic Designs, Stockholm, 1970, pl.53k. Compare with a similar ribbed black-glazed jar, Northern Song/Jin dynasty, formerly in the Sakamoto Goro Collection, which was sold at Sotheby's New York, 17 March 2015, lot 6.磁州窯系是中國北方最大的民窯體系之一,窯場分佈於河南、河北、山東等省份。黒釉瀝線裝飾是磁州窯系的一種獨特產品,製作時採用瀝線裝飾工藝,將瀝粉垂直粘貼在未乾的胎體上,形成棱線,再施以黑釉。由於釉料的自然流動,燒製後的器物表面隨棱線起伏而呈現濃淡黑白的對比。參考哈佛大學薩克勒博物館藏一例近乎相同的北宋至金黑釉棱線紋雙繫罐,見R.D.Mowry著,《Hare's Fur, Tortoiseshell and Partridge Feathers》,1995年,頁176,編號61。另有兩例可資比對,新奧爾良藝術博物館藏一例,與本例相似惟尺寸稍小,見《Heaven and Earth Seen Within》,新奧爾良,2000年,編號30;另一例藏於倫敦大英博物館,收錄於J.Wirgin著,《Sung Ceramic Designs》,斯德哥爾摩,1970年,圖版53k。坂本五郎舊藏一例北宋至金黑釉棱線紋雙耳罐,售於紐約蘇富比,2015年3月17日,拍品編號6,可資參考。
