An Archaeometric and Typological Monograph on the Southern Song Imperial Guan/Ge Ware Octagonal Tubular-Lobed Hu Vase 南宋 官窯系 米黃釉 八方貫耳壺 考古與微觀物理學研究報告

This monograph presents a comprehensive typological and material examination of an exceptional Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Guan/Ge ware octagonal tubular-lobed Hu vase (Bafang Guan'er Hu, 八方貫耳壺) preserved intact within the Sigong Collection (Height: 15.3 cm, Weight: 431 g). Inheriting the canonical bronze ritual grammar documented in Northern Song Emperor Huizong’s Xuanhe Bogutu (宣和博古圖), this vessel embodies the highest zenith of Southern Song imperial kiln engineering. 本研究報告針對時空美術館所藏之一件傳世南宋官窯(或哥窯系)米黃釉八方貫耳壺(高15.3公分,重431公克)進行形制學與微觀物理學之全面考證。此器完美承襲北宋徽宗朝《宣和博古圖》所載之商周青銅投壺禮制規格,堪稱南宋宮廷御用禮器之極致巔峰。 Fabricated in strict adherence to the canonical "half-chi" (半尺) imperial study specification, the artifact overcomes the extreme thermal deformation inherent to eight-faceted slab construction during 1,280°C reduction firing. Optical micro-forensic analysis reveals pathognomonic physical markers: natural oxidation crusts on the high-iron body (iron foot), knife-sharp purple-rim (zikou) along multifaceted edges, and secondary mineralized ring-like chalcedony formations within pinholes (zong'an) bisected by ancestral crackle networks (kaipian). This vessel serves as an indispensable reference standard resolving the classical ambiguity between Guan and Ge wares (Ge-Guan bufen). 本器嚴格遵循宋代官制「半尺」文房燕賞規制,克服了八角折稜在攝氏1,280度高溫還原燒結中極易塌陷扭曲之高難度工藝。光學顯微檢測顯示,器身具備無可爭辯之本朝標準特徵:露胎處天然深層微孔氧化皮殼(鐵足)、稜角處自然流釉呈現之刀刃狀紫口、以及棕眼內壁珪酸鹽玉化環輪與開片裂紋自然貫穿之時差證據。本器以完璧之姿傳世,為釐清古代陶瓷史上「哥官不分」之公案提供了不可替代之標準器物證。 Keywords / 關鍵詞 Southern Song Imperial Guan Ware, Octagonal Tubular-Lobed Hu Vase Xuanhe Bogutu, High-Iron Body, Purple Mouth and Iron Foot, Optical Micro-Forensics, Pinholes Vitrification, Crackle Propagation Time-lag 南宋官窯, 傳世哥窯, 哥官不分, 八方貫耳壺, 宣和博古圖, 投壺禮制, 紫口鐵足, 香灰胎, 黑胎

Abstract

This monograph presents a comprehensive typological and material examination of an exceptional Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Guan/Ge ware octagonal tubular-lobed Hu vase (Bafang Guan'er Hu, 八方貫耳壺) preserved intact within the Sigong Collection (Height: 15.3 cm, Weight: 431 g). Inheriting the canonical bronze ritual grammar documented in Northern Song Emperor Huizong’s Xuanhe Bogutu (宣和博古圖), this vessel embodies the highest zenith of Southern Song imperial kiln engineering. 本研究報告針對時空美術館所藏之一件傳世南宋官窯(或哥窯系)米黃釉八方貫耳壺(高15.3公分,重431公克)進行形制學與微觀物理學之全面考證。此器完美承襲北宋徽宗朝《宣和博古圖》所載之商周青銅投壺禮制規格,堪稱南宋宮廷御用禮器之極致巔峰。 Fabricated in strict adherence to the canonical "half-chi" (半尺) imperial study specification, the artifact overcomes the extreme thermal deformation inherent to eight-faceted slab construction during 1,280°C reduction firing.
