"Three-legged ruyi lid" when the big bin pot
You may not know that when the Big Bin pot was auctioned for tens of millions! So who is Shi Dabin?
<h1>When the pot maker is a master, Dabin</h1>
Shi Dabin, zi Shaoshan, the son of Shi Peng, one of the "four masters" of the late Ming Dynasty, was a famous pot maker in the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli and Chongzhen dynasties. His works are grand and have been promoted as "authentic pot art". In particular, he has studied the clay preparation of purple sand pottery, making good use of various types of clay or mixed with clay clay, and his works have the praise of "sand coarse ancient texture uniform".
Shi Dabin first believed in the spring, liked to make a large pot, and later made a small pot, and the sand pot made had the characteristics of simplicity and firmness, and was the master of pot making at that time. The characteristics of his pot making are white dots in the purple mud, and once the lid is closed, the lid is lifted with the lid, and the pot body does not fall. The work is simple and elegant, and later generations called it "time pot". There are more than ten surviving "time pots", of which five or six are from excavated cultural relics, which are very precious.
Shi Dabin is the iconic figure of the maturity of Yixing purple sand pot, since the beginning of Dabin, Yixing purple sand tea set represented by sand pot has gradually become a treasure play of heavy gold competition.
<h1>What does the unearthed Dabin pot look like? </h1>
The excavated Shi Dabin pot is brick red throughout, the shape of the instrument is larger, the lid, spout and handle are missing, and the bottom of the pot is partially black, and there are suspected traces of use. The bottom of the pot is "Shi Dabin in the Xiaoke Pavilion system".
According to the comparison of the Ming Dynasty purple sand fragments excavated in yixing archaeological excavations, this pot of mud belongs to the standard Ming Dynasty common mud material, combined with the bottom of the pot, Liu Baoshan, the head of the Municipal Archaeological Institute, believes that this pot may be Shi Dabin's early works, the shape of the vessel is unique, more like a tea boiling vessel.
Because the pot was mutilated, and there was no missing part in the cemetery, Shi Dabin made the pot very seriously, and if he was slightly dissatisfied, he smashed it and discarded it. Therefore, it is also possible that the owner of the tomb was obsessed with the "time pot" before his death, and after his death, his family found the fragments of the "time pot" for burial.
<h1>There are only a few dozen surviving large pots</h1>
Shi Dabin's pot has become a rare thing during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and for more than 400 years, the "Time Pot" that has been passed down through chaos has been cherished by posterity.
