192 It is extremely rare to find wares with the combination of a white-
A very rare Cizhou ‘oil-spot’ white-rimmed tea glazed rim and with ‘oil-spot’ decorated black glaze; compare with a
bowl very similar Cizhou white-glazed rim ‘oil-spot’ bowl excavated in the
Northern Song Dynasty Fenyang city of Shanxi province, currently in the Fengyang Municipal
Potted with deep rounded sides raised on a narrow splayed foot, the Museum, illustrated in Zhang Bai, Zhongguo chutu ciqi quanji: Shanxi,
rim covered with a band of white glaze, contrasting with the lustrous Beijing, 2008, pl.220. Oil spot tea bowls were initially produced in the
black glaze with silvery ‘oil spots’ covering the sides of the interior Jian kilns; the effect is due to decreased temperature during firing
and exterior, the foot dressed in a dark purple-brown wash. while the glazes were still boiling. This had the effect of fixing iron-rich
13cm diam. spots before they ran down as streaks. As the spots crystallised as
magnetite, the spots took on a silvery sheen. This effect was copied
HK$400,000 - 600,000 in the North of China in the Song and Jin periods by applying iron-rich
US$52,000 - 77,000 slip beneath standard black glazes. See another Cizhou ‘oil-spot’ bowl
without the white-glazed rim decoration, in The Complete Collection
北宋 磁州窯黑釉油滴白沿盌 of Treasures of the Palace Museum:Porcelain of the Song Dynasty,
Hong Kong, 2001, p.226, pl.204. Compare with another similar bowl
excavated in 1998 at Shangdong province, illustrated in Zhang Bai,
Zhongguo chutu ciqi quanji 5: Shanxi, Beijing, 2008, pl.154.

盌直口，斜腹，口沿以下腹部漸內收，圈足，盌底罩一層紫黑色護胎

釉。口沿一周施白釉，盌心及外壁均施黑釉，釉面呈現分佈均勻之鐵

棕色鏽斑，如點點油滴。

此種以白釉裝飾口沿的方法在日本被稱為「白覆輪」，曾在宋代北方

地區比較盛行，打破了單一釉色的裝飾，別具一格。在磁州窯器的傳

世品中，以白釉裝飾口沿並的油滴紋盌極為少見，於本盌類似者，唯

見山西汾陽市城建拓路工地出土的一件元代白沿黑釉鐵鏽斑盌，參見

張柏主編，《中國出土瓷器全集：山西》，北京，2008年，圖220。
北京故宮博物院亦藏一件以油滴斑裝飾的宋代磁州窯黑釉盌，見《故

宮博物院藏文物珍品全集：兩宋瓷器》，香港，2001年，頁 226，圖
204。此種裝飾技法應該是對建窯油滴斑茶盞的模仿，類似的產品在
河南地區、山西的太原、臨汾和懷仁都有燒造。1998年山東省造紙廠
出土一件類似的黑釉白沿盌亦可作參考，見張柏主編，《中國出土瓷

器全集5：山西》，北京，2008年，圖154。
