Curator's comments
Published PDF date : Northern Song 11thC-12thC
Room 95 label text: PDF 300 Black glazed tea bowl with copper rim Ding potters manufactured vessels of exquisite quality and pure white bodies, but also with coloured glazes. This example is coated in a solution rich in iron oxide which, when fired, lends it a glossy ink-black colour. Song dynasty writers celebrated black and brown (see case 12) Ding wares in contemporary texts, associating them with luxurious lacquer wares. The presence of Ding wares in monastery treasuries, palaces and noblemen’s tombs testifies to their high status. Stoneware with iron-black glaze and copper rim Ding ware定窯 Quyang county, Hebei province河北省, 曲陽縣 Northern Song dynasty, about AD 1000–1127
PDF 300 黑釉鑲銅口茶碗 定窯陶工燒造高品質的純白釉器物,同時也製作其他釉色的器物。此碗施富含氧化鐵的釉料,經燒造後,形成如墨般的釉色。宋代文人對黑色及褐色的定窯器物甚為鍾愛(參見12號展柜),並在當時的文獻中將其比之於奢華的漆器。寺廟、宮殿及貴族墓葬出土的定窯器物,證實了其高貴的身份。 炻器,鐵黑釉,鑲銅口 定窯 河北省曲陽縣 北宋,約1000-1127年
