宋磁州窯八掛紋碗 Song Dynasty Cizhou Kiln Bagua Pattern Bowl

北宋時期官窯廠尚未設立，當時民窯十分多，皇室和達官貴人正四處尋找合適的窯場，當中磁州窯以黑（紫褐）白釉著稱，風格最為出眾，被揀選成為最早期的官窯，魚，獸，仙等獨特裝飾風格是當時民間所禁止的。

During the Northern Song Dynasty, official kilns had not yet been established, and there were many private kilns. The imperial family and high-ranking officials were actively searching for suitable kiln sites. Among these, the Cizhou kiln was renowned for its black (purple-brown) and white glazes, standing out with its distinctive style. It was selected to become one of the earliest official kilns. Unique decorative motifs such as fish, animals, and immortals, which were prohibited among the common folk at the time, were featured.
