A Cizhou sgraffiato pear-shaped vase, yuhuchunping, Northern Song dynasty (960-1127)
Lot 3229. A Cizhou sgraffiato pear-shaped vase, yuhuchunping, Northern Song dynasty (960-1127); 12 3/8 in. (31.5 cm.) high. Estimate HKD 300,000 - HKD 500,000. Price realised HKD 375,000. © Christie’s Image Ltd 2014.
The elegantly potted vase is freely carved through the white slip to the buff body with a wide band of shaped panels enclosing a lotus spray, separated by a cartouche enclosing a leaf decoration above a chrysanthemum, all below a band of scrolling foliage.
Note: Cizhou sgraffiato vases of this yuhuchunping shape with the decoration carved through a white slip rather than the dark brown glaze appear to be quite rare. One of similar type, also with the decoration arranged in bands around the body and neck, is illustrated in Song Ceramics from the Kwan Collection, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1994, no. 197.
The result of Oxford Authentication thermoluminescence test no. P102e80 is consistent with the dating of this lot.
