Type: Closely related
Auction: Christie’s New York, 29 September 2022, lot 35
Price: USD 4,788 or approx. EUR 4,400 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing
Description: A painted Cizhou lamp, Song dynasty
Expert remark: Compare the closely related form, slip decoration, and size (11.5 cm)
Expert's note (added 18.2.2023): The term 'zhou' refers to a historical concept of geographical areas in China separated by an administrative or political division. A few miles to the west of the Cizhou kilns lies the 'Ci' mountain. It is from this area where the magnetite was mined for the pottery made in the kilns, and it is this magnetite that is responsible for the remarkable strength of Cizhou pottery and its distinct metallic lustre.
