宋 湖田窰青白釉蓮瓣蓋罐

This covered jar, crisply decorated with overlapping petals, illustrates characteristics of the ceramics from the Hutian kilns of Jingdezhen prior to the introduction of cobalt blue in the Yuan dynasty that shifted the potters’ interest to blue-and-white porcelain. The kilns’ output at that time is noted for its rich relief designs, fanciful figurative details and intense greenish-blue glaze.
青白蓋罐雅館花瓣片片,釉色瑩透,彰顯景德鎮湖田窰製器特徵,屬元代創燒青花瓷前之作。此時期,湖田窰青白瓷大量運用模印技法、立體浮雕裝飾器身,釉色透明青中帶藍,光盈輝映紋飾細節,尤顯清雅。
