——黄岩窑青瓷陈列


前  言

 

位于浙江东南部的黄岩,不仅是著名的蜜橘之乡,而且在我国陶瓷发展史上有着重要地位,这就是黄岩窑的兴起。

从考古调查看,黄岩窑始烧于西周时期,其间经历了三次集中生产高潮,遗留下埠头堂、下圆山、沙埠三处从东汉至北宋时间相对连续的窑址群。20世纪50年代在沙埠等地发现的黄岩窑青瓷窑址群,烧制时间为晚唐至北宋。1963年,沙埠青瓷窑址被公布为浙江省文物保护单位。

黄岩窑产品以优美端庄的艺术造型、滋润光泽的釉色、丰富多变的纹饰、苍劲有力的刻划刀法取胜,被誉为“一枝后起之秀的制瓷鲜花”。黄岩窑器形以盘、盆、碗为主,器物胎骨呈灰白色,结实坚硬,胎釉结合紧密。装饰技法以刻划、模印、堆贴、针点等手法为主。器物表里均施满釉,釉层较厚,纹饰题材有鹦鹉、凤凰、云龙、蝶恋花、莲池鸳鸯等。

古代黄岩濒海临江的地形,成就了黄岩优越的海港条件,黄岩窑的青瓷产品大量出口至古高丽(新安)、日本、菲律宾等地。

2015年,黄岩窑沙埠窑址群被台州市列为海上丝绸之路两大遗迹之一。黄岩窑对研究中国青瓷史具有重要价值,是“一带一路”海上丝绸之路文化的有机组成部分。


“A Thousand Peaks in Emerald Color”

Exhibition on Celadon of Huangyan Kiln

Preface

Located in the southeastern Zhejiang Province, Huangyanis not only the hometown of oranges, but also enjoys a key position in China’s ceramic development due to the rise of Huangyan Kiln.

Archaeological surveys show that Huangyan Kiln, first put into operation during the Western Zhou Dynasty, experienced three peaks, leaving behind three kiln sites of relative continuity in time, namely Butoutang, Xiayuanshan and Shabu. In the 1950s, celadon sites of Huangyan Kiln, being used from late Tang to the Northern Song Dynasty, were excavated in Shabu and other places. In 1963, Shabu celadon kiln group was recognized as a cultural relics protection unit of Zhejiang Province.

The wares of Huangyan Kiln excelled with beautiful and dignified artistic shapes, glossy and shiny glazes, rich and varied decorations and vigorous carving, renowned as “a rising star of porcelain flowers”. Huangyan Kiln turned out plates, pots and bowlswith firm and hard grayish white paste as well as glaze. Decorative techniques were mainly incision, molding, pasting and needle pointing. Besides, decorative patterns included parrots, phoenixes, dragons among clouds, butterfly flowers and mandarin ducks in lotus pond, etc. The interiors and exteriors were both covered with thick layers of glaze.

As ancient Huangyan was close to the sea and the river, Huangyan owned several good ports, from which celadon products of Huangyan Kiln were exported in large numbers to ancient Goryeo (Xin’an), Japan and the Philippines, etc.

In 2015, Shabu celadon kiln group of Huangyan Kiln was recognized by Taizhou as one of the two remains on Maritime Silk Road. Huangyan Kiln is not only of great value to the study of Chinese celadon history, but an integral part of Maritime Silk Road culture in “The Belt and Road Initiative”.
