元 剔紅羲之觀鵝圖海棠式盤

盤海棠式，邊沿起棱，隨形圈足。通體雕朱漆紋飾，盤心隨形開光內飾天、地、水錦地，上雕亭臺於湖畔，秀石嶙峋，松桐映掩。王羲之輕倚欄邊觀賞湖中游鵝，意態悠然，一童子於後窗探頭窺視。盤內壁雕四季花卉，外壁雕卷草紋，圈足內髹黑漆。

There are several old breaks to the dish that have been professionally restored. The most severe of these are visible in the catalogue photo, including an arc break on the left lobe that extends through the pine trees. There does not appear to be any significant losses, and the overall fine carved design has been preserved. As visible, old age cracks throughout, to the interior and the underside, with some stabilisation to the interior cracks. There has been retouching to the rim and above the foot.

此盤上飾東晉書聖王羲之凴欄觀賞湖中游鵝。王羲之愛鵝，從鵝的姿態神韻上領悟到書法執筆、運筆的道理，創造出獨特風韻的書法。如執筆應像鵝頸一樣，俯仰彎轉，伸曲自如。他愛鵝，甚至抄寫《道德經》換回了山陰道士的一群白鵝，唐代詩李白有詩曰：「山陰道士如相見，應寫黃庭換白鵝。」以山水人物為裝飾紋飾始於元，多用於瓷器、玉器及雕漆，而這些場景主要來自當時流行的版畫故事。此盤上的紋飾與紐約大都會博物館藏〈元錢選 王羲之觀鵝圖〉甚為相似，曾展於《Chinese Art Under the Mongols: The Yuan Dynasty》，克利夫蘭藝術博物館，克利夫蘭，1968年，編號185。

此盤上的裝飾工藝體現了元朝雕漆圖案繁縟，層次清晰，立體感極強的風格。元朝雕漆器特色是以高浮雕技法，於浮雕之中以重疊雕琢，令畫面更為空闊深遠，顯現立體效果。此盤上精細的松樹和打磨圓潤的山石，充分的體現了明黃成在《髹飾錄》中對元雕漆的描述：「隱起圓滑，纖細精緻」。
