A GE-TYPE ‘KINUTA’ VASE, CHINA, 18TH CENTURY
十八世紀仿哥釉瓶
Sold for €3,900
including Buyer's Premium
Expert’s note: This remarkable ‘Kinuta’ vase exemplifies the finest Ge wares, which have been revered both in China and Japan for many hundreds of years. At its finest, Ge glazes are thick, completely opaque, and have a rich pattern of black and golden-brown crackles. The glaze on the present vase also displays the ideal soft bluish-gray color, which was so difficult for potters to achieve, but has always been greatly admired by connoisseurs. The name 'Kinuta', which in fact is the Japanese term for a mallet, refers to a group of mallet-shaped vases which were imported to Japan in the Song dynasty and thereafter.
Of slightly flared cylindrical form with sloping shoulders, surmounted by a tall cylindrical neck rising to a distinctively lipped rim, the hallmark of this group. The body covered overall in a fine gray glaze suffused by a dense matrix of dark crackles, with scattered paler crackles in between, except the foot rim exposing the dark body beneath.
Provenance: Swedish trade, by repute acquired from an old Scandinavian private collection.
Condition: Excellent condition with expected old wear and firing flaws, such as dark spots, pitting and slightly irregular glaze pooling above the foot rim, shallow surface scratches and minor staining to glaze.
Weight: 311 g
Dimensions: Height 12.8 cm
With a Japanese black-lacquered box and cover. (2)
