Republic of China • A Monk's Cap Shaped Teapot Made by Gu Jingzhou
Shanghai Concord 2020 Autumn Auction
Price Realized: RMB 8,165,000
This Monk's Cap Shaped Teapot perfectly showcases the quintessential features of Gu's craftsmanship — its elegance, precision, and refinement. The pot's lines are smooth and graceful, its form robust and meticulous, complemented by a natural display of cultural literacy.
The transitions between parts are seamlessly natural, with a facade that stands upright and firm, creating a rhythmically tight and unified silhouette. The connection between the spout and the body, the shoulder line of the neck, and other minute details all reveal the charm of handcrafted artistry and the spirit of traditional Zisha pottery art.
