A pair of Cizhou-type black-glazed stoneware dishes, 11th-12th century

A pair of Cizhou-type black-glazed stoneware dishes, 11th-12th century

Lot 8055. A pair of Cizhou-type black-glazed stoneware dishes, 11th-12th century; 5 7/8in (14.9cm) diameter of each. Estimate US$ 8,000 - 12,000 (€7,200 - 11,000). Sold for US$ 13,750 (€ 11,167). Photo: Bonhams.

Each finely potted dish with rounded, shallow walls curving up to a cream-glazed rim, the interior and exterior bodies covered with a glaze of rich black over a tan pottery body, the interior of the foot unglazed. 

NoteThe elegant contrast between the black glazed-body and the white-glazed rim evokes opposite contrast of the bright silver bands applied to the rims of creamy white Ding wares. 

Compare the conical bowl with black glaze and white rim of Cizhou type in the collection of the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Harvard University Art Museum, ascribed to the 11th-12th century by Robert Mowry in Hare's Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers: Chinese Brown- and Black-Glazed Ceramics, 400-1400, Cambridge, 1996, cat. no. 31, pp. 132-133. Another similarly glazed shallow bowl from the Raymond A. Bidwell (1876-1954) Collection and previously in the Springfield Museums, Springfield, Massachusetts, sold at Christie's New York, 21-22 March 2013, lot 1172. See also another related bowl dated to the Song dynasty illustrated in The Classic Age of Chinese Ceramics: An Exhibition of Song Treasures from the Linyushanren Collection, Christie's, 2012, p. 87, no. 27.
