描述
superbly potted, of pear-shaped form, the swelling body tapering to a slender waisted neck and a flared rim, supported on a short foot, deftly carved around the body with a dense foliate lotus scroll between a band of petal lappets enclosing trefoils around the base and pendent ruyi collaring the shoulder, the neck encircled with upright plantain leaves above key-fret and a border of 'classic' scroll repeated around the foot, richly applied overall with an unctuous yellowish-green glaze pooling to a darker tone in the recesses, the neatly cut footring left unglazed and fired deep orange
Condition
There are a few scattered pinholes and occasional tiny specks in the glaze with a few light glaze crackles around the belly and a few light scratches on the surface, but otherwise the vase is in very good condition. The actual colour of the vase is quite close the catalogue illustration.

拍品資料及來源
此瓶之端莊器形、雕飾紋樣和豐潤青瑩釉色，均為浙江龍泉窰青瓷之特色。此類龍泉青瓷器皿多依當時景德鎮御窰廠產器之造形燒製，往往能見相同器形之景德鎮青花和釉裏紅作例。朱湯生，〈Chinese Celadons〉，《Arts of Asia》，1993年11/12月，頁64，提到十五世紀時景德鎮作品廣受喜愛，因而龍泉窰的工匠也將其繁複的圖案紋樣，改以雕刻工藝呈現。一件尺寸、器形及紋飾上極為類似之龍泉玉壺春瓶，現藏北京故宮博物院，錄於《龍泉窰青瓷》，台北，1998年，圖版161。亦可比較鄂圖曼蘇丹王收藏内一支以寶石與鎏銀把流嵌於青瓷玉壺春瓶而成之執壺，錄於康蕊君，《Chinese Ceramics from the Topkapi Saray Museum. Istanbul》，卷1，倫敦， 1986年，圖版 223；另有一件相似飾蓮花紋樣瓷瓶，為 Alexander 與 Barlow舊藏，錄於 Michael Sullivan，《Chinese Ceramics. Bronzes and Jades in the Collection of Sir Alan and Lady Barlow》倫敦，1963年，圖版 95b，現藏 Ashmolean 博物館，牛津。亦可參考另一件相似作例，先後售於香港佳士得，1991年10月1日，編號732，及紐約蘇富比2008年3月18日，編號103。亦可比較另一件器例，先後售於香港蘇富比1976年11月29日，編號452，及1996年11月5日，編號635，曾錄於朱湯生前述著作，圖14，著者認為其器形及雕飾紋樣，皆沿襲洪武年代之原型設計，頁64。
作為現器依循藍本之洪武青花及釉裏紅作例，可參考一瓶例，錄於《世界陶磁全集》，卷13，東京，1981年，圖版214；另一件釉裏紅瓷瓶，現藏倫敦大英博物館，錄於 Jessica Harrison-Hall，《Ming Ceramics》，倫敦，2001年，圖版2:5。大英博物館藏作例，瓶身繪松、靈芝、竹、梅及芭蕉等吉祥圖案，頸、足輔飾與此相似。另請參照清宮舊藏一件同時期青花瓷瓶，飾折枝牡丹紋，現仍存北京，錄於《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集‧青花釉裏紅（上）》，上海，2000年，圖版14；尚有兩件作例，藏台北國立故宮博物院，一件飾纏枝蓮紋，另一件繪纏枝牡丹，錄於劉良佑，《中國歷代陶瓷鑑賞》，台北，1991年，頁22-23。還有相似作品，飾牡丹花卉，售於香港佳士得2009年2月1日，編號1868。
