A RARE WHITE-GLAZED FLUTED TWO-HANDLED VASE
SUI – TANG DYNASTY (6TH – 9TH CENTURY)
隋至唐 白釉出筋双耳瓶
ESTIMATE: $3.000– $5.000
Description
This elegantly potted vase, dating from the Sui to early Tang dynasty, is a sophisticated example of early Chinese white-ware. Standing at 22 cm in height, the vessel features an ovoid body rising to a waisted neck and a flared, foliated rim with a distinctive pie-crust edge. The shoulders are set with two small loop handles. The body is meticulously molded with vertical fluting (chu jin), creating a rhythmic, architectural silhouette. It is covered overall with a translucent, creamy-white glaze with a fine network of crackle, stopping short of the flat base to reveal the high-fired buff stoneware body.
The vase exhibits the classic transition in ceramic forms during the 6th to 9th centuries, moving toward more robust and structured shapes. The “pie-crust” rim and fluted body are characteristic of Xing-type or related northern white wares of this period, reflecting an influence from Near Eastern metalwork.
Dimensions
• Height: 22 cm (8.66 in)
CONDITION REPORT
The vase is in overall very good condition for its age. The glaze retains a soft, lustrous sheen with natural age-related crackle throughout. There are minor expected kiln imperfections, including small iron spots and slight glaze irregularities. No significant cracks or major restorations are visible. The rim and handles are intact, with only minor surface wear and tiny chips consistent with burial and antiquity.

隋至唐 白釉出筋双耳瓶
描述
此件白釉双耳瓶比例优美，是隋代至唐代早期北方白瓷工艺的精品。瓶高22厘米，撇口呈齿状花边，束颈，溜肩处对称置双系。瓶身均匀分布垂直的凸弦纹（出筋），形成了极具节奏感的建筑式轮廓。通体施半透明白釉，釉色莹润，呈现温润的象牙白色，满布细碎开片。釉水下垂至近足处，露胎处可见坚致的浅土黄色胎质。
此类器形反映了6至9世纪中国陶瓷从秀美向浑厚过渡的特征。其齿状花口与出筋装饰深受中西亚金属器风格影响，是当时邢窑或相关北方窑口白瓷的典型代表。
