拍品描述

Dimensions:Height 8.3cm (3‑1/4in),Diameter 9.9cm (3‑7/8in)Condition & Provenance:Alright,let’s closely examine this authentic Southern Song‑Yuan Longquan celadon zhadou waste‑water vessel.This refined scholar‑studio ceramic has survived centuries without deep penetrating cracks,no major chip losses and no invasive restoration or glaze‑filling retouching.You may inspect the widely flared mouth,curved neck,bulbous mid‑section and neatly finished foot ring;gentle natural age‑related wear is visible upon the rim edge and foot‑ring margin,accumulated from long‑term handling and collection.There is no artificially applied fake patina.The interior and exterior are uniformly covered in soft,smooth powder‑blue celadon glaze with subtle silky luster,faint tiny natural kiln specks scatter sparsely across the glaze surface,these are original firing features rather than later‑time damage.The rim edge and foot‑ring perimeter show thin unglazed biscuit margin in warm light‑brown tone with natural oxidization marks;the flat base remains fully glazed with neat trimming.No modern grinding,polishing or chemical cleaning has altered the original biscuit and glaze surfaces.This elegant Longquan zhadou originates from a distinguished private early celadon collection based out of Seattle,Washington.The prior collector acquired this vessel from a reputable Hong Kong antiquities gallery back in the late 1980s;it has remained safely preserved in this single‑family private estate for more than thirty‑five years and is being presented to public auction for the very first time.Description:This fine Longquan celadon zhadou follows the classic Song‑Yuan waste‑water receptacle form.It features a broadly flared trumpet‑shaped mouth,tapering neck,a prominently swollen bulbous mid‑body and a short stable foot ring.The inner cavity is smooth and fully glazed,crafted to receive waste tea or water within a literati studio setting.The whole piece is enveloped in a uniform soft powder‑blue celadon glaze,the glaze texture is dense and even with subtle gentle sheen.The mouth rim and foot‑ring expose narrow light‑brown biscuit where glaze receded during high‑temperature firing,while the base remains neatly glazed.Zhadou occupied an essential position among Song‑Yuan scholar‑studio tea‑ceremony implements.This well‑proportioned,elegantly glazed Longquan example represents the refined aesthetic of southern Chinese celadon craftsmanship
