北朝筆記 vol.31 哈佛大學博物館:南朝蓮花盤口瓶 - Havard University, Southern Dynasties Compressed Globular Wine Jar (Jiuhu) with Dished Mouth and Descending Lotus-Petal Decor


A black and white photo of a smooth, bulbous pottery vase with engraved geometric patterns, set against a plain background.

南北朝時期的酒壺,如盤口瓶與渣斗,充分展現了當時陶瓷工藝的精湛技藝。這類酒壺多採用青瓷釉面,以輕灰色石胎為基底,輔以刀刻紋飾,造型上講究壓縮圓潤,盤口設計則常融入蓮花等自然意象,寓意吉祥與生機。


值得注意的是,東京的浦上蒼穹堂收藏的一件相似作品,其釉色瑩潤、光澤內斂,尺寸略大一些,腹部造型更顯飽滿。浦上蒼穹堂的浦上滿是越窯的收藏大家,對越窯的審美和甄選有著十分敏銳和特別的簡介。


這些作品不僅體現了當時對實用與藝術美學並重的追求,也為我們提供了理解古代瓷器造型與裝飾演變的重要視角。


牛津Ashmolean博物館藏有東方陶瓷學會英格拉姆爵士捐贈的類似一件器物,但尺寸和質量似乎不如哈佛大學和浦上蒼穹堂的作品,參考:

安阳小屯出土有一件类似,但已经残损的作品(河南省安陽市小屯7:M15号墓出土)。



參考其他盤口壺:





The wine jars of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, including dish-mouth bottles and chadous, vividly illustrate the superb ceramic craftsmanship of the period.


Black ceramic bowl with wide rim and smooth texture, set against a plain background. The bowl has a simple, elegant design.

Typically crafted from light gray stoneware with a celadon glaze and enhanced by incised decorations, these vessels are characterized by their compact, rounded forms and dished mouth designs often adorned with lotus motifs, symbolizing auspiciousness and vitality. Notably, a similar piece housed at Tokyo’s Uragami Soukyudo features an exceptionally lustrous glaze and a fuller, more robust belly, highlighting subtle differences in aesthetic ideals and technical execution among various schools.


Such works not only reflect the era’s balanced pursuit of functionality and refined artistry but also offer valuable insights into the evolution of ceramic form and ornamentation.
