北宋至金代鈞釉紫斑盌

Sold for €2,528

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China, 960-1234. The deep rounded conical sides rising to a straight rim, covered inside and out with a glaze of pale milky blue thinning to a greenish-dark tone at the rim and pooling unevenly toward the unglazed foot, revealing the buff ware. The interior is applied with bold purple splashes, suffused with hues of malachite-green.

Provenance: From a private estate in the United Kingdom.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and firing flaws, such as pitting and dark spots. The foot with minor chips. The splashed glaze with intentional crackling.

Weight: 561.8 g
Dimensions: Diameter 16.7 cm

Note the large pit to the interior of the bowl, with the glaze pooling below appearing like a teardrop.

Expert’s note: The present bowl shows patches of malachite green precipitated among the purple clouds, which has been noted to occur due to high concentration of copper oxide, see Rosemary Scott, Imperial Taste: Chinese Ceramics from the Percival David Foundation, London, 1989, page 39.

Auction result comparison: Compare a related bowl, also dated Northern Song to Jin dynasty and with a very similar patch of malachite green within a purple splash, but of slightly larger size (20.6 cm diameter), at Christie’s New York in Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 19 March 2021, lot 702, sold for USD 27,500.
