A WHITE-GLAZED JAR, TANG DYNASTY
唐代白釉罐
Sold for €1,300
including Buyer's Premium
Please note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價
China, 618-907. Of globular form, the body rising from a narrow foot to voluminous rounded shoulders with a short waisted neck surmounted by a rolled rim. The interior and exterior covered in a translucent creamy white glaze above a white slip. Parts of the lower body and the flat base unglazed, thus exposing the pale buff body with its characteristic pinkish hue.
Provenance: Brian Page, Brighton, United Kingdom. Grahame Clarke, acquired from the above in 2008, and thence by descent in the family. Grahame Clarke (1940-2014) was a noted ceramic artist, influenced by pioneers of small-scale studio pottery such as Harry Davis, Bernard Leach, and Shoji Hamada. In 1974 he founded Highland Stoneware in Lochinver, Scotland. Driven by the historic and natural environment, his work combined the durable porcelain body, modeled on ancient century Chinese pottery, with a free hand-painted style inspired by Delftware blue-and-white decorations of the 16th and 17th centuries. His passion for ceramics led him to collect artifacts from all over the globe, but especially from China. Inspired by historic porcelain, Clarke’s work itself ended up in museums like the Victoria & Albert, exemplifying the modern movement of micro-kiln ceramic arts.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, showing some old wear and minor manufacturing irregularities, including glaze recesses and dark spots. Expected glaze flaking, minor losses, light scratches.
Weight: 1018.1 g
Dimensions: Height 16.5 cm

唐代白釉罐
中國，618-907年。侈口，短頸，豐胸，弧腹，平底。 通體覆蓋著半透明的白色釉。足部無釉，露淺黃色胎。
來源：英國布萊頓Brian Page收藏；Grahame Clarke 於 2008 年從上述人士手中收購，並自此在同一家族傳承。Grahame Clarke（1940-2014）是一位著名的陶瓷藝術家，受到 Harry Davis、Bernard Leach 和 Shoji Hamada 等陶藝風格的影響。1974 年，他在蘇格蘭洛欽弗創立了 Highland Stoneware。 在歷史和自然環境的推動下，他的作品將仿照中國古代陶器的耐用瓷體與受十六世紀和十七世紀代爾夫特青花裝飾啟發的自由手繪風格結合起來。他對陶瓷的熱情促使他收集來自世界各地的陶瓷，尤其是來自中國的文物。受到古物的啟發，Clarke的作品本身最終被收藏在維多利亞和阿爾伯特博物館等博物館。
