拍品描述

Dimensions:Single jar Height 12cm(4.72in),Mouth Diameter 7cm(2.76in),12‑13th century Song‑dynasty Qingbai porcelainCondition & Provenance:The pair is fully preserved without cracks or chips.Original Ying‑Qing glaze remains intact;natural burial soil patina appears inside mouth and shoulder area.Mould‑impressed lotus petals on shoulder stay sharp and distinct.Exposed foot bases retain authentic kiln‑red discoloration and soil erosion.No repairs and no later over‑glazing.This pair comes from a private Song‑porcelain collection based in Princeton,New Jersey.The collector acquired them through an antique gallery in Hong Kong in 2017.Intact matching pairs of Song Ying‑Qing jars are relatively scarce;assembled pairs carry greater collectible value than single examples.Description:This matching pair of small celadon jars was produced at Hutian kiln during Song dynasty,functioning as household decorative‑utilitarian wares.Each jar has flared mouth,short straight neck,full rounded shoulder,bulbous body tapering toward base and shallow ring foot.A band of raised mould‑impressed lotus‑petal ornaments encircles the shoulder with crisp outlines.The whole body is covered in soft pale bluish‑white Ying‑Qing glaze with gentle luster;burial‑related soil residue is visible inside the rim.Unglazed foot reveals firm porcelain body with natural kiln‑red and soil marks.Ying‑Qing glaze imitates jade texture and represents major southern ceramic achievement of Song era.It is uncommon for Song‑era Qingbai wares to survive as original matching pair.These two jars share consistent shape and glaze tone.They serve both as fine display pieces and tangible material evidence for Song folk ceramic culture,with aesthetic and historical research value.
