拍品詳情
A RARE LONGQUAN CELADON DOUBLE-GOURD VASE
YUAN / MING DYNASTY, 14TH CENTURY
of slender double-gourd form, the generously rounded spherical lower body tapering at the svelte waist before rising to a tall upper bulb surmounted by a lipped rim, evenly covered overall in a glossy celadon-green glaze, paling slightly at the rim and pooling thickly at the neatly cut footrim, the unglazed foot dressed in brown and burnt slightly russet in the firing, encircling the recessed base
36.5 cm., 14 3/8 in.

狀況報告
Updated: There is a 2.5 cm section on the footrim that is painted covering a possible hairline or a chip and there is a 2 cm horizontal hairline crack on the mouth of the vase and a very subtle lean, the overall condition is very good. The glaze is very even throughout with a few random glaze crackles and one star shaped one on one side. The actual colour of the vase is slightly deeper than in the catalogue illustration.

Gourd-shaped vases are surprisingly rare among the rich production of the many celadon kilns located in and around Longquan county in Zhejiang province. A slightly smaller vase of this form attributed to the Yuan dynasty, the base equally having a recessed centre, was excavated from a hoard discovered during building works at Baihuo commune, Qingtian county, Zhejiang province, and is now with the Qingtian County Cultural Relics Management Committee. Undoubtedly due to its beauty as well as its rarity, this vase has been frequently published, for example, in Zhu Boqian, Longquan yao qingci/Celadons from Longquan Kilns, Taibei, 1998, pl. 154 (fig. 0); in Zhongguo Longquan qingci/Longquan Celadon of China, Hangzhou, 1998, pl. 124 and on the title page; and in Zhongguo taoci quanji [Complete series on Chinese ceramics], Shanghai, 1999-2000, vol. 10, pl. 35. Another vase of this form is illustrated in Sōgyō Shichijūnen Kinen Ryūsen Shūhō/Mayuyama, Seventy Years, Tokyo, 1976, vol. 1, pl. 484.
