Ai Weiwei Ceramic Ewer Sculpture - edition of 60, by Lazy Jesus on Apr 6, 2023 14:19:31 GMT 1, This limited edition Ewer has been crafted using the finest porcelain techniques at Ai Weiwei’s kiln in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, China. It offers collectors the chance to own a piece of original artwork by one of contemporary art's foremost figures.
Jingdezhen has been renowned as the capital of imperial porcelain since ancient times, where porcelain vessels were exclusively supplied to the dynastic courts of China for centuries.
It is part of a limited edition of 60 pieces, of which 30 are available in this exclusive collaboration with the Design Museum. Proceeds from this collaboration will go towards funding future projects at the museum.
The design of this celadon-glazed and gourd-shaped ewer is modelled after a wine ewer or tea jug from the Song dynasty (960–1279 CE).
The artist has given the ewer a new and unique design. Unlike typical ewers, the cap is fixed to its body and its porcelain glaze finish has a soft blue hue.
Arrives beautifully boxed in a specially made presentation case and comes with a certificate of authenticity and corresponding unique limited edition number.
Signed by the artist.

To get just the lid for £30 what do you have to do? Is it a unique piece? Can it be detached?
Willing to buy the lid... if someone wants to buy just the teapot.
4000? Not within my reach.
Perhaps not even within the reach of 90% of his admirers.

Ai Weiwei Ceramic Ewer Sculpture - edition of 60, by topper on Apr 6, 2023 22:28:06 GMT 1, I like this, actually easy on the eye for a change. Much prefer to the middle finger red timed edition just resleased. Not cheap, but low edition no.

Ai Weiwei Ceramic Ewer Sculpture - edition of 60, by robo on Apr 8, 2023 20:16:33 GMT 1, I guess £4k is about the right price point for a 60 ed Weiwei sculpture. It’s a nice object but I’m wondering what it says…

Ai Weiwei Ceramic Ewer Sculpture - edition of 60, by robo on Apr 9, 2023 8:47:29 GMT 1, Well, not anymore if you bought it. I’ll have a go:
It’s a Chinese water carrying vessel built in the traditional manner of ancient imperial chinaware. But this one though traditional in style can never carry water. It is built as useless. It is a critique of china’s current “ emperors”.

Also a good excuse to put a teapot display like your Nan did!

But this one though traditional in style can never carry water. It is built as useless. It is a critique of china’s current “ emperors”. I wondered what the significance of 'Unlike typical ewers, the cap is fixed to its body' could be. I think you've nailed it. Also a good excuse to put a teapot display like your Nan did! |
