龍泉窯束口茶碗，其造型最重要的是爆滿圓潤，束口處積釉濃厚，呈現一絲絲如海浪拍打之粉青色。釉光必須是發亮般的瑩潤，通體釉色濃淡變化自然流動。
曾有另一件Mathias Komor經手的同類作品在蘇富比拍出超過237.5萬港元，其特點就是極為濃厚釉，或為早年日本流出的傳世之作。

這類作品的欣賞，還要從茶文化出發。龍泉窯的茶碗，雖然沒有建窯般的風靡整個大宋王國，但其不可替代的翠綠，典雅文人氣十足的造型，必然是宋代臨安皇城宮廷貴妃們的至愛。
其束口，應該以建窯茶碗的審美去理解，配以天目台（盞托），特別是朱漆，紅綠互相交融，也別有一番滋味。
這件作品來自著名的胡惠春舊藏，以88萬人民幣的低價成交，實屬運氣極佳的撿漏之舉。當然，缺點就是釉過薄，假設和蘇富比的對比，遜色不少。88萬與237.5萬的區別，如何分辨？

Longquan kiln tea bowls, its shape is the most important is full of rounded, the mouth of the thick accumulation of glaze, showing a trace such as the waves of the pinkish-green colour. The glaze must be shiny and smooth, and the glaze colour varies naturally throughout the bowl.
Another similar work by Mathior Komor, which fetched over RMB 2 million at Sotheby's, was characterised by an extremely thick glaze, and may have been a heirloom from Japan in the early years.
This type of work should also be appreciated in the context of tea culture. Longquan kiln tea bowl, although not as popular as the Jian kiln throughout the Song dynasty kingdom, but its irreplaceable emerald green, elegant literati full of modelling, is bound to be the Song dynasty Lin'an imperial city of the imperial court concubines love.
The mouth of the bottle should be understood in the context of the aesthetics of the Jian kiln tea bowl, and with the tianmutai (盞托), especially the vermilion lacquer, the reds and greens blend with each other, and there is a distinctive flavour to the piece.
This piece came from the famous Hu Huichun's old collection, and sold for the low price of RMB 880,000, a very lucky find.
