拍品資料及來源

本盤巧飾飛雁於花叢間,線條寫意流暢,上罩一層象牙色白釉。定窰瓷器盛行於十至十二世紀,多為日常生活器皿如盌、盤等,最初多留光素或手工雕刻。自北宋晚期以降,工匠減少使用刻花工藝,轉而用蘑菇形模具印花,與鑄造金銀器的方法類似。模具上有凸出花紋,工匠將粘土壓至模具上,後再修整口沿,保持器形與輕薄度不變。以此工藝得以大批燒造,生產倍增,滿足市場需求。

本品精巧細緻,極為珍稀。如斯造型的盤例,並同飾花鳥紋者,多欠細膩紋飾細節,兩例藏於台北國立故宮博物院,載於《故宮宋瓷圖錄:定窰、定窰型》,台北,1973年,圖版66及67;牛津大學阿什莫林博物館另藏一例,載於Jan Wirgin所著之《宋代瓷器設計》,斯德哥爾摩,1970年,圖版100b;另有兩例曾分別於蘇富比出售,其一出自M.H. Soames少校及G.A. Kolkhorst舊藏,先後於1954年6月29日(編號14)及1959年2月17日(編號60)售出,其二售於1966年4月26日,編號21。大阪市立東洋陶瓷美術館內藏有一葵口盤例,飾有相關紋飾,1999年曾展於東京東武博物館《宋瓷》展覽,編號31。

此盤紋飾與同期銀器及織錦相若,可見定窰瓷器受金屬器皿的影響。柯玫瑰在1982年倫敦出版的《宋瓷》第102頁寫道,定窰「傾向於模仿其他珍貴材質如金、銀器,在王宮府庫內有大量儲藏」。南昌江西省博物館內藏有一葵口銀盤,飾雙雁飛翔於荷花間,載於《中國金銀玻璃琺瑯器全集》第二冊,石家莊,2004年,圖版216(右)。參見倫敦大英博物館藏一緙絲掛幅,上飾花鳥圖案,載於馬熙樂所著之《中國絲綢,文化歷史》,倫敦,2004年,圖版84。
