A VERY RARE GE CINQUEFOIL BRUSH WASHER
元/明 哥窰葵形洗

YUAN/MING DYNASTY, 13TH-15TH CENTURY

細節
洗葵瓣形,五方倭角,內外滿施灰青釉,通體開片紋,鐵足露胎,底有三支釘痕。

哥窰是宋代五大名窰之一,與汝窰、定窰、鈞窰、官窰齊名。國內外對哥窰和官窰課題的研究一直從未間斷。1992年10月上海博物館曾舉行了研討會,探討哥窰與官窰之間的問題,雖未達成共論,但學者大都同意以俗稱有「金絲鐵線」紋者作為辨認哥窰的標準,見蘇玫瑰著「Guan or Ge Ware?」,載於《Oriental Art》,1993年夏季刊,12-23頁。部份考古學家認為哥窰的窰址應如官窰一樣,設在杭州南宋皇城圍牆之外,也有人認為
應在龍泉窰附近。不過大家一致認為製作精良的哥窰器的確具備了御用貢器的特徵。

中國國家博物館收藏一件與此器極為相似,同為五方倭角的宋代哥窰洗。其他近似例子見於各大博物館及私人收藏,包括一件私人所藏宋代哥窰四方倭角洗,載於1990年香港出版《敏求精舍三十週年紀念展》展覽圖錄,圖版111號;臺北故宮博物院所藏一件哥窰茶花式盃,見1962年香港出版《故宮藏瓷‧哥窰‧二》,圖版42號;以及北京故宮博物院所藏一件宋代官窰葵形洗,見1996年香港出版《兩宋瓷器‧下》,圖版23 號。

此器源自澳洲私人珍藏,由現任藏家祖輩於1920 年代在上海購得。

Ge ware, along with Guan, Ru, Ding and Jun, comprise the ' Five Great Wares of the Song Dynasty'. The problems of distinguishing the two crackled wares, Guan, and Ge, were discussed at length during a three-day conference held at the Shanghai Museum in 1992, and while no unanimity of opinion was reached, it was generally thought that those wares with a jinsi tiexian ('gold thread and iron wire') crackle should be designated Ge. See R. Scott, "Guan or Ge Ware?", Oriental Art, Summer 1993, pp. 12-23. Recent archaeological researches suggest that Ge wares may have been made at kilns just outside the walls of the Southern Song palace at Hangzhou, while other suggest that they may have been made at kilns nearer to the centre of Longquan production. What all agree, is that Ge wares display the qualities that might be expected of vessels intended for imperial appreciation.

Compare to a nearly identical Ge-glazed cinquefoil washer dating to the Song dynasty in the National Museum of China. Other similar examples are found in institutions and private collections worldwide, including a Ge-glazed quatrefoil brush washer dating to the Song dynasty exhibited and illustrated in Selected Treasures of Chinese Art: Min Chiu Society Thirtieth Anniversary Exhibition, Hong Kong, 1990, pp. 252-253, no, 111; a Ge-glazed cinquefoil cup in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Ko Ware of the Sung Dynasty, Book II, Hong Kong, 1962, pl. 42, pp. 121-122; and a hexafoil brush washer in the Palace Museum, Beijing, designated as Guan, illustrated in Porcelain of the Song Dynasty (II), The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 1996, p. 23, pl. 18.
