外側皆施黑釉，其餘光素。整器造型小巧規整，值得賞玩。 The ‘ribs’ seen on the present box and cover were created by applying
a black slip, then trailing narrow strips of white slip, the ‘ribs’, from top
146 | Bonhams to bottom before covering them with a transparent brown glaze. The
slip-relief cream-coloured ‘ribs’ show in contrast against the lustrous
dark brown black glaze. The technique was particularly popularl on
larger vessels like jars, vases and ewers, although in some cases, like
the present lot, the ribs are grouped in twos or threes.

A similarly-glazed vase also decorated with applied clay ‘ribs’, formerly
in the Mr and Mrs Alfred Clark Collection, is illustrated by Basil Gray,
Sung Porcelain and Stoneware, London, 1984, p.119, no.95.

黑釉貼花線紋多見於山東淄博及河南磁州窯系產品中，其技法是在
胎體表面擠出泥漿，然後再連同與胎體一起施黑釉，燒製過程中，
凸出貼花因流釉變薄而露出「筋 紋」，與器身黑釉形成對比。見英
