唐代筆記 vol.41 東京國立博物館：唐三彩褐釉豬 - TNM, Sancai Brown-Glazed Pig, Tang Dynasty

唐三彩褐釉豚

陶製／唐代・8世紀高13.5公分　長20.8公分

收藏：東京國立博物館

本件作品為一具豬形雕塑，製於7世紀至8世紀的中國華北地區。此類明器多施鉛釉，屬於低溫燒成陶器，為唐代墓葬中常見之作品。

與常見的黃、綠、褐三彩釉器不同，擬形於日常動物的陶塑多以單色釉為主，可能反映出更強的寫實意圖。此件褐釉豬即為一例，造型簡練而生動，呈現出對真實動物姿態的觀察與模仿。

Tang Sancai Brown-Glazed Pig

Description

This funerary figure in the form of a pig was produced in northern China during the 7th to 8th centuries. Such mingqi (funerary objects) were typically made of low-fired earthenware covered in lead glazes. While the vibrant sancai (three-color) wares of yellow, green, and brown are well known from this period, representations of familiar animals were often rendered in monochrome glazes, likely to enhance realism. This brown-glazed pig exemplifies such tendencies, with a simplified yet lifelike form that reflects careful observation of the animal’s physical characteristics.

7世紀から8世紀にかけて華北地方でつくられた明器は、低火度釉の鉛釉をかけたやきものが中心です。黄・緑・褐色などの色釉を掛け分けた華やかな三彩が知られている一方で、身近な動物をかたどったものには単彩が多く、写実性を意識したものと考えられます。
