A dark bowl with a white rim rests on a decorative stand with floral patterns, placed on a matching plate against a neutral background.

宋代北方油滴天目茶碗是十分被忽略的品種，本品尺寸較大，氣勢磅礴。同款可以參考大德寺龍光院藏的傳世油滴天目茶碗，曾在美秀博物館與曜變天目一起展出。這件作品可能是山西懷仁窯的作品。

Northern oil-spot Tenmoku tea bowls from the Song dynasty have long remained an underappreciated category within Chinese ceramic scholarship. The present example is notable for its unusually large size and commanding presence. A comparable bowl is preserved in the Ryūkō-in sub-temple of Daitoku-ji in Kyoto, a celebrated heirloom piece that was once exhibited alongside the famed Yōhen Tenmoku at the Miho Museum.

宋代北方油滴白縁天目碗附螺鈿天目台

器高 8.4 公分｜口徑 14.5 公分｜高台徑 4.7 公分

此碗為宋代河南地區磁州窯系的作品，屬於一類於口緣施以白釉、營造「覆輪」效果的天目茶碗。整體造形屬於深腹斂口形，亦有一類自高台至口緣呈直線外撇之型制，宋代文獻中均有描述。

此件因燒成過程中釉藥的變化，釉面自然形成宛如油滴般之結晶斑點。器身搭配螺鈿裝飾的天目台，進一步體現其作為茶席用器的審美意圖與儀式性質。

Oil-Spot 'White-Rim' Tenmoku Bowl with Mother-of-Pearl Stand

Henan, Northern Song to Jin Dynasty

Height: 8.4 cm

Mouth diameter: 14.5 cm

Foot diameter: 4.7 cm

This Tenmoku bowl, likely produced at a kiln of the Cizhou-type system in Henan province, exemplifies a distinctive form characterized by a white-glazed rim that creates the visual effect of a metallic mount (fukurin 覆輪). Among such wares, two major forms are commonly noted: one with a curved, bowl-like profile as seen here, and another with straight sides flaring from foot to mouth. The bowl features iridescent oil-spot crystallization, an accidental yet prized effect of kiln transformation (yaohen 窯變) during firing. It is paired with a Tenmoku stand inlaid with mother-of-pearl (raden 螺鈿), highlighting its function as a refined object of tea practice and courtly aesthetic appreciation.
