A CELADON GLAZED CERAMIC BOTTLE VASE, GORYEO DYNASTY
高麗王朝青釉瓶

Sold for €4,160

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

Korea, 12th century. The faceted pear-shaped body supported on a short straight foot, surmounted by a waisted neck with everted rim, the neck decorated with a neatly incised band of lotus leaves above three lines, the body with multiple vertical ribs, the exterior covered in a crackled celadon glaze that pools to a bluish tone in the recesses and stops irregularly above the foot to reveal the buff orange wear.

Provenance
: Old French private estate.
Condition: Extensive old wear and manufacturing flaws including firing cracks, brown spots and glaze recesses. The neck with an old restoration. Minor nicks here and there. The glaze with intentional crackling, as expected from this type of ware.

Weight: 1,304 g
Dimensions: Height 23.7 cm

The celadon wares, Korea’s best-known ceramics, exemplify the refined sensibilities of Goryeo culture. Though numerous kilns produced celadon wares, the very best pieces—which were used by the royal court, the aristocracy, and wealthy Buddhist temples—came from kilns in Gangjin (in South Jeolla province) and in Bu’an (in North Jeolla province), areas in the southwestern part of the peninsula that are rich in fine stoneware clays. Vessels with molded, incised, or carved decoration, such as this exquisite bottle, typify twelfth-century wares, while ones with designs inlaid in black and white slips epitomize those of the thirteenth and fourteen centuries (the inlay technique known in Korean as sanggam gisul).

Literature comparison: Compare also a related faceted bottle vase, also dated 12th century, with incised decoration in the Horim Museum, Seoul, treasure no. 1454.

青瓷是韓國最著名的陶瓷,體現了高麗文化的精緻優雅。儘管有許多窯生產青瓷器皿,但最好的青瓷器——供皇家宮廷、貴族和富裕的佛教寺廟使用——來自康津(全羅南道)和扶安(全羅北道)的窯爐 ,朝鮮半島西南部地區盛產精美的炻器粘土。帶有模製、雕刻或堆塑裝飾的器皿,例如這件精美的瓶子,是十二世紀器皿的典型代表,而那些鑲嵌的黑白粉料設計則是十三和十四世紀的縮影(這種鑲嵌技術在韓國被稱為桑乾風格)。

文獻比較: 比較一件相近的十二世紀雕刻瓶,收藏於首爾Horim博物館,館藏編號1454。
