拍賣筆記 vol.285 蘇富比香港：152.4萬港元售出，北宋至金磁州窰系黑釉堆線帶蓋注壺，岡田美術館 - A Rare Cizhou-Type Black-Glazed Ribbed Ewer And Cover, Northern Song - Jin Dynasty, Sold for 1.524m HKD

此件北宋至金代 磁州窰系黑釉堆線帶蓋注壺 屬於宋金黑釉體系中極為稀少的一支——帶蓋、帶出筋、造型完備，且保存狀態優於同類傳世例。此類黑釉出筋器於河南、河北、山東多地曾同時燒造，而 河南寶豐清涼寺窯址的考古發現 對理解此類器物的區域性與技術傳承尤為關鍵。清涼寺窯出土的兩件近似例（2020 年正式出版）證實此類注壺並非孤立創作，而是北方黑釉器中一個成熟而精巧的類型。

然而，在今日市場中，黑釉注壺的價值仍明顯 低於其學術層級。與同場動輒千萬級別的宋瓷相比，黑釉器依然處於審美認知尚未普及的階段。正因如此——具備展覽、出版、來源與考古對照的標本，反而呈現出被市場低估的罕見機會。

此件出自日本私人收藏，由東京壺中居遞藏，曾展於岡田美術館 5 週年特展，並收錄於《岡田美術館名品撰》。在品相、來源、出版、類型罕見度皆具備的前提下，以 152.4 萬港元成交，可謂嚴重低估的高質量黑釉典型。

This Cizhou-type black-glazed ribbed ewer with cover, dated to the Northern Song–Jin period, represents one of the rarest and most refined subtypes within the broader corpus of northern black-glazed wares. Vessels of this ribbed, covered form were produced across multiple kiln sites in Henan, Hebei and Shandong, yet true matched sets with intact lids survive only in very limited numbers.

The most important scholarly reference for this group comes from the Qingliangsi kiln site at Baofeng, Henan, where two closely related ewers were excavated and fully published in 2020. These finds confirm that such ewers formed a coherent and technically sophisticated tradition within the northern black-ware system, rather than being isolated or experimental products. Additional parallels in the National Museum of Korea, Meiyintang, Muwen Tang, and the former Ataka collection further demonstrate the type’s historical breadth and cultural mobility.

Despite this strong academic foundation, the market today continues to undervalue black-glazed wares, largely due to an underdeveloped aesthetic literacy regarding their firing techniques, glaze behaviour, and regional kiln distinctions. As a result, works with clear provenance, museum exhibition history, and full scholarly comparanda—such as the present ewer—trade at levels far below their true art-historical significance.

This example comes from a Japanese private collection, passed through Kochukyo in Tokyo, exhibited at the Okada Museum of Art’s 5th Anniversary exhibition, and published in Masterpieces of the Okada Museum of Art. Given its condition, rarity, and impeccable scholarly framework, the hammer price of HKD 1,524,000 represents a marked undervaluation of a genuinely important black-glazed prototype.
