A small 'beishoku' guan vase, Southern Song dynasty | 南宋　官窰米青釉直頸穿帶瓶

Hirano Kotoken.

This vase boasts an elegant shape, and no complete Southern Song guan counterparts of such chuandai ping (vase with two apertures on the foot) appear to be known. Compare two guan long-necked vases with beige glazes, likely from the same kiln, illustrated in Nezu Museum, Nan So no Seiji Sora wo Utsusu Utsuwa / Heavenly Blue: Southern Song Celadons, Tokyo, 2010, pls 58 and 59. The Longquan kiln was also deeply influenced by this type of guan ware, compare a Longquan celadon chuandai ping in the Beijing Palace Museum, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Porcelains of the Two Song Dynasties, Hong Kong, 1996, vol. II, no. 99.

When compared with kiln site excavated shards, the body and glaze of the present lot bear a closer resemblance to those unearthed from Jiaotanxia site, similar to a set of shards collected from this kiln site as detailed in ibid, Tokyo, nos 82-2, 8, 9, 15.

瓶直口，長頸，腹部下垂扁圓，圈足上寬下窄，足邊兩側有長方形對稱穿孔，為穿帶固定之用，通施灰青釉，網狀開片，足圈露胎，色灰黃。

此器造型古樸，目前未見完整類似之官窰穿帶瓶，惟可參考兩件米黃釉官窰長頸瓶，當屬同一窰口，胎骨頗似，雖然圈足無穿帶孔，然器型相近， 見根津美術館編，《南宋の青磁》，東京，2010年，編號58及59。龍泉窰作品亦深受官窰影響，如北京故宮博物院藏一件龍泉青釉穿帶瓶，整體造型與本品一致，惟較高，見《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集·兩宋瓷器》，卷下，香港，1996年，編號99。

對比窰址出土殘片，本件胎釉較為接近郊壇下出土瓷片，可比較一組郊壇下窰址採集瓷片，見前書，東京，2010年，編號82之2、8、9、15。
