描述

  • 《大清乾隆年製》款

of flattened globular form supported on a short foot, superbly decorated on each side in varying tones of iron-red with an en face five-clawed dragon writhing sinuously with its scaly body around a 'flaming pearl', the beast rendered with piercing eyes framed by thick furrowed brows, long flowing mane and flaring horns, against a background with evenly spaced lingzhi cloud swirls and above turbulent crashing waves picked out in cobalt-blue, the tubular neck decorated with lingzhi-shaped clouds and flanked by a pair of ruyi-shaped handles extending downwards to the shoulder, the handles reverse-decorated in rich cobalt-blue tones save for the white outlines, the recessed base inscribed in underglaze blue with a six-character seal mark

拍品資料及來源

此件扁壺飾釉上礬紅彩龍紋,或為孤品,著錄不見同紋飾形制作例。一件近類乾隆青花胭脂彩雲龍紋雙鳳耳扁壺,出自清宮舊藏,然器形、雙耳及雲紋樣式,均與現例相異,一例錄於《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集.青花釉裏紅(下)》,上海,2000年,圖版232(圖一),另有一對例,陳列於重華宮翠雲館,見《明清室內陳設》,北京,2008年,圖103(圖二)。器身五爪祥龍,正面迎人,矯健霸氣。類同龍紋,可參考一件青花紅彩雲龍紋圓蓋盒,《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集》,上述出處,圖版224。

此件拍品雖似乾隆青花釉裏紅扁壺,後者壺肩雙耳造形多更簡略,飾十字形雲紋,不同於此處所繪冉冉升起之如意雲紋。可參考北京故宮博物院藏品,如同前出處,圖版213。Norton 珍藏一件扁壺,1963年11月5日售於倫敦蘇富比,編號203,現藏新南威爾士州立美術館,曾展於《Chinese Ceramics》,新南威爾士州立美術館,雪梨,1965年,編號116。試比較 Gerald Reitlinger 舊藏一例,刊載於 Soame Jenyns,《Later Chinese Porcelain》,倫敦,1951年,圖版XCIV,圖1。香港藝術館亦藏一器,出展於《清瓷薈錦:香港藝術館藏清代陶瓷》,香港藝術館,香港,1984年,編號66。還有一件出自徐展堂博士收藏,錄於《徐氏藝術館:陶瓷篇IV.清代》,香港,1995年,圖版84。

此類乾隆青花釉裏紅扁壺,英國鐵路基金會曾藏一例,二度售於香港蘇富比,1975年11月17日,編號221,1989年5月16日,編號37,後於1996年11月3日售於香港佳士得,編號776。香港蘇富比2009年4月8日售出另外一件,編號1605(圖三)。亦可比較一件近類扁壺,刊於《Exhibition of Imperial Porcelain of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong》,S. Marchant & Son,倫敦,1996年,編號46。

扁壺器形取材早明作例,參見一件永樂花卉紋扁壺,瓶口覆土耳其式鎏銀蓋,出自伊斯坦堡奧圖曼宮廷舊藏,載於康蕊君,《Chinese Ceramics in the Topkapi Saray Museum》,伊斯坦堡,倫敦,1986年,卷2,圖版613。大維德基金會也有一件器形近似扁壺,現展於倫敦大英博物館,收錄於《Oriental Ceramics. The World's Great Collections》,東京,1982年,卷6,圖版28。還可比較兩件宣德折枝茶花紋扁瓶,展於耿寶昌主編,《故宮博物院藏明初青花瓷》,北京,2002年,上冊,圖版87-88。
