A comparatively small but ornately cast squarish wine vessel (Fangyi) with 8 sets of taotie mask motifs. The preservation of this vessel is of a quality that is seldom seen.
- Late Shang period
- H26cm L15cm D13cm
This squarish wine vessel (Fangyi) is reputed to have been modeled along the shape of a house with all the respective surfaces equally divided by raised flanges. It has a center knob on the cover lid which usually is formed by 4 flat sloping surfaces but this present vessel is cast with taotie mask motifs with bulging eyes. There is a horizontal band of 4 pairs of confronting phoenixes at the top part of the vessel’s body while the raised foot ring is decorated with 4 pairs of confronting kui dragons. 4 typical inverted U slots are left on the foot ring that are suspected to be spaces where fingers may be inserted during the lifting of the vessel.
This vessel has a unique feature in that, besides the bulging eyes, the ground and all the motifs in relief are meticulously incised with neat leiwen.
方彝是中國古代盛酒的器皿,在我國商代晚期到西周中期尤為的興盛,造型上主要的特征呈現(xiàn)為長方形的器身,帶蓋且呈現(xiàn)為直口狀,圈足是其普遍的特征。其方彝在其器蓋上小底大,做成斜坡式的屋頂形狀,圈足上往往其上部會(huì)有一個(gè)缺口,但是也有少數(shù)的方彝下腹向外鼓起呈現(xiàn)為曲腹的狀態(tài)。
而方彝的蓋與其器身往往呈現(xiàn)為四條或八條凸起的棱線,全器布滿了云雷紋的樣式且上部凸起雕出獸面、動(dòng)物等紋飾,從其外觀上看有著濃重的莊重華麗之感,收藏價(jià)值以及上升的空間較大。
商周時(shí)期的晚期方彝一般呈現(xiàn)為直壁的形狀,上面的口部大于其底部的狀態(tài),而在其器身的橫長兩倍于縱長,存在著斜肩的狀態(tài),由于兩個(gè)方彝之間的組合,是商代時(shí)期典型的特征。西周時(shí)期早期方彝四壁多作為弧線的狀態(tài),大部分的方彝呈現(xiàn)為器物腹部向外鼓起,圈足上的缺口出現(xiàn)的較少,雖然存在著直角方型的,但是其器物的與底部呈現(xiàn)為一樣的大小,但是流傳至今的方彝瓷器卻較少。
西周時(shí)期進(jìn)行青銅上紋飾的修飾主要是以云雷紋為地,器身上為長方形,腹部兩側(cè)置有象鼻上卷狀耳,圈足較高,器蓋是以四阿式的屋頂狀為主,中部的脊、四坡角均放置在扉棱,中脊正中有一四阿式短柱鈕,造型極具特色,且在工藝的結(jié)合和紋飾上的修飾賦予了它濃厚的莊重感和莊嚴(yán)之感,將皇家的地位以及氣勢(shì)發(fā)揮的可謂是淋漓盡致。
從其器蓋上圓形旋渦紋上方裝飾為竊曲紋飾,兩側(cè)為夔紋,工藝較為的復(fù)雜,且層層的紋飾相互交錯(cuò)、相互襯托,使其藝術(shù)感更為的濃郁。頸部使用了竊曲紋進(jìn)行裝飾,在其下方為兩凹形槽,形式較為的特殊,兩種紋飾進(jìn)行的結(jié)合給工匠師帶來了較大的難度,由于當(dāng)時(shí)工藝水平有限,且制作尊耗時(shí)
時(shí)間較長、制成率較低,但是一旦制作成功其收藏價(jià)值是不可估量的,存世量也較少。
