Located at Huangpuzhen, Tongchuanxian, Shaanxi province,
the Yaozhou kilns began production of a wide range of wares
during the Tang dynasty. The kilns were well placed to use
water transportation to the Northern Song capital at Kaifeng,
and it is recorded that Yaozhou wares were presented as tribute
to the Northern Song court. Both the offcial Song history and
other literary sources mention such tribute gifts. For instance,
the offcial gazetteer during the Yuanfeng era (1078-1085),
Yuanfeng jiuyu zhi, mentions ffty sets of tribute ceramics sent
to the court from Yaozhou.
The present bowl, with its attractive pale sea-green glaze, is a
classic example of fne Yaozhou ware. A Yaozhou bowl of this
shape with a similar pattern of two hibiscus blossoms paired
with its distinctive star-shaped leaf, is in the Museum of Fine
Arts, Boston, and illustrated in Oriental Ceramics, The World’s
Great Collections, vol. 10, Tokyo, 1980, no. 153. Compare,
also, two other Yaozhou bowls of this pattern, one sold at
Christie’s Hong Kong, from the Jingguantang Collection,
3 November 1996, lot 530, and one sold at Sotheby’s London,
12 November 2003, lot 143.
