柬埔寨吴哥荔枝山窑青釉盒子装饰工艺与中国陶瓷的关系

The Decoration Crafts of Green-Glazed Covered Boxes of Phnom Kulen Kilns in Angkor of Cambodia and Its Relationship with China’s Ceramics

9至15世纪的中南半岛处于吴哥王朝的统治之下,当地自9世纪开始生产瓷器。柬埔寨吴哥荔枝山窑生产的11-12世纪青釉盒子造型及纹饰丰富,吸收了从唐五代至北宋时期越窑瓷器的装饰工艺,并因地制宜加以改造和创新,12世纪中期及以后逐步被外销至吴哥的中国瓷盒所替代。荔枝山窑的青釉盒子供吴哥皇室及寺庙盛载黄蜡和其他香药,作祭祀或日常用途,凸显了统治阶层的皇权及国力之强盛。

The Khmer Empire dominated the mainland Southeast Asia from the 9th to 15th centuries. Since the 9th century, the Khmers started to produce high-fired glazed stoneware. The various shapes and motifs of green-glazed-covered boxes of Phnom Kulen Kilns dated from the 11th-12th centuries were inspired by the decorative crafts of the Yue porcelain wares of the Tang through Northern-Song times, and got reformed and innovated in practice. The covered boxes of Phnom Kulen Kilns were used as complementary goods along with gold and silver wares by royal court and the middle-and-upper classes until the influx of Chinese covered boxes in Angkor since the mid-12th century and thereafter. These covered boxes contained beewax or other perfume for ritual and daily uses, they demonstrated the powerful kingship and the polity prosperity.
