拍品資料及來源

黑地上豎飾白化妝土條子,製作簡易卻效果出眾,是以廣用於北方諸窰,惟各窰質素、形狀及紋飾細節變化甚多,卻乏足夠出土證據以作對比,故難以考究個別出處。本品器形渾圓,條紋利落,與色深黑釉對比分明,出類拔萃,與樂從堂其他藏品同陳並列,絕不遜色。

本罐器身渾圓大方,比例勻稱,紋飾出眾,對比鮮明,堪稱黑釉瓷之代表作,啟迪後世,至今未歇。此類黑釉百條罐,廣製於河南、河北、山東諸窰,相關論述可參見 Robert D. Mowry 著之展覽圖錄《Hare’s Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers. Chinese Brown-and Black-Glazed Ceramics, 400-1400》,哈佛大學藝術博物館,劍橋,1995年,頁174-177。作者在書中對比兩例,編號61及64,以其相異之處展示各窰特色,編號61及64。按該圖錄所述,可推斷本品或出自山東淄博。Mowry 認為山東所出瓷罐,多為短頸直口,條紋上釉甚透明,是以條子凈白,不致泛黃,條紋沿頸垂直而下,起點高低不平,但多數全罐罩釉,「亦有在大罐罐內底部抹釉一圈露胎,以置小罐入內一同窰燒」(頁177)。此罐內底也見有小支釘痕,可悉窰製之時,也曾置小罐入內。山東淄博窰址出土一相似瓷罐,內仍存小罐,圖見《文物》,1979年,卷6,頁57,圖版32及33。同類罐,近足處多為素胎,或薄施褐色釉彩。

黝黑釉器,始現於唐代,因其堅固實用,迅速流行於中國各地。北宋黑釉,初或受當朝漆器之啟,但諸窰不久便各自發展其獨特風格,百花齊放。條狀白化妝土紋飾,首現於唐朝仿漆或銀之瓷器,但主要用於器內作分隔,十至十一世紀期間才偶見此類條子用於器身作飾,至十二世紀始發展成重要紋飾風格。

相類瓷罐殘片,曾展於東方陶瓷學會《Kiln Sites of Ancient China》,倫敦,包括河南寶豐出土例(編號419)、山東淄博出土例(編號434),以及河南魯山出土瓷蓋,上飾條紋與此相近(編號413)。河南諸窰也有出土相近殘瓷,圖載於《中國古代窰址標本》,河南卷:上,北京,2005年,其中有魯山出土例(圖版104)、鶴壁出土例(圖版230-231)、寶豐出土例(圖版268-269),以及扒村出土例(河南卷:下,圖版366)。另可比較一罐,其條紋較疏,磁州窰出土,見《觀台磁州窰址》,北京,1997年,彩圖版25。

器形相近之百條罐,可參考長谷部楽爾,《陶器全集》,卷13:宋の磁州窰,東京,1958年,圖版55。大阪市立美術館也藏一罐,下腹素胎無釉,曾展於《白と黒の競演―中国.磁州窯系陶器の世界》,大阪市立美術館,2002年,編號144。另一尺寸較小之例,曾展於求知雅集《中國古陶瓷展》,香港中文大學文物館,香港,1981年,編號42。另可比較兩例,均曾售於倫敦蘇富比,一為 Lindberg 舊藏,售於1978年12月12日,編號74,另一則於1985年6月18日拍出,編號54。還有一例,售於紐約蘇富比2006年3月30日,編號46,可資參考。
