拍品資料及來源

此斗笠式葵瓣口造型典雅,盌沿微凹作葵瓣狀,靈感可能源於宋代白瓷,其官窰例見於明永宣年間的景德鎮,後朝也有仿此類明初樣式者。此盌形除青花品種外,景德鎮亦作單色釉例,但幾乎全部毀棄於窰址,難見成器傳世。

一件同樣紋飾作例,屬北京故宮清宮舊藏,載於耿寶昌,《故宮博物院藏明初青花瓷》,北京,2002年,卷2,圖版146;同載一件康熙年製署宣德仿款例,圖版179;兩件紋樣類同的宣德盌例,屬台灣國立故宮博物院藏品,載於《明代宣德官窰菁華特展圖錄》,台北,1998年,編號62,另載於《明宣德瓷器特展目錄》,台北,1980年,編號36;台北1980年圖錄同收錄一件清代仿宣德青花花果葵瓣口盌,編號35。另有一件相同盌例,藏於台灣,疑無款,年代或早於先前三件宣德盌例,載於《明代初年瓷器特展目錄》,台北,1982年,編號20。另見一宣德盌例,屬北京首都博物館藏品,載於《首都博物館藏瓷選》,北京,1991年,圖版97;上海博物館藏例,載於陸明華,《上海博物館藏品研究大系:明代官窰瓷器》,上海,2007年,圖版3-34。

同類盌也見於私人收藏,見康蕊君著《玫茵堂中國陶瓷》,倫敦,1994年,卷2,圖版671,此盌來源有緒,分別為 K.L. Dawes、 John F. Woodthorpe 及 Frederick Mayer 所藏,1954年4月6日於倫敦蘇富比拍出,編號24,後於2011年10月5日香港蘇富比玫茵堂專拍中拍出,編號12。還有一日本舊藏盌,近售於香港蘇富比2013年10月8日,編號3030。

此盌的造型、紋飾宣德以後繼續延燒,見三件可比較的例子,分別為美國前總統胡佛、Allan Hoover 伉儷及 Koger 伉儷收藏,皆售於紐約蘇富比1990年11月27日,編號6 帶宣德年款、編號9帶萬曆年款、編號8是一對十八世紀作品,帶宣德偽款。
