拍品資料及來源

此青釉瓶形似砧杵形狀,亦稱紙槌瓶,於日本備受珍重,稱曰「砧青磁」,乃龍泉窰經典瓶式,向為藏家追慕。有學者考據稱,此瓶形源自西亞伊斯蘭國家,如伊朗。可比較一件內蒙遼陳國公主墓出土伊斯蘭琉璃瓶,或產自伊朗東北部內沙布爾,斷代早於1018年,圖見《大觀 北宋汝窰特展展品選》圖錄,國立故宮博物院,台北,2007年,編號25,編號2。1997年印尼印坦古代沉船出土玻璃瓶殘片,形與本瓶相同,該船應為北宋商船。宋人洪邁《夷堅志》記載,徽宗收藏一套番國製琉璃瓶。

如本品紙槌瓶造型,飾雙魚龍耳者,存世甚少,而且器形碩大,更為難得。騰躍飛魚,其形如游龍,元人視為祥兆之物,其雛形或源自中東,隨游牧民族遷徙,經中亞傳入中原。聖彼得堡冬宮藏一件元代雙魚耳金盞,紋飾精細,可與本品類比,展於《The Legacy of Genghis Kahn, Courtly Art and Culture in Western Asia》,大都會藝術博物館,紐約,2002年,頁18,圖11,編號139。

Mayer舊藏,售於倫敦佳士得1974年6月24日,編號61。名古屋出光美術館珍藏一同類瓶例,器形稍小,展於《南宋の青磁 宙をうつす器》,根津美術館,東京,2010年,編號23;可再參考展覽中另外兩例,編號24及25,後者為静嘉堂文庫美術館所藏,東京。Carl Kempe收藏另一例,圖見Bo Gyllensvärd,《Chinese Ceramics in the Carl Kempe Collection》,斯德哥爾摩,1964年,圖版99;另一瓶例,傳為松平治郷舊藏,售於紐約佳士得2008年3月19日,編號561。

傳世紙槌瓶多飾鳳耳,日本博物館收藏五例,展於《南宋の青磁 宙をうつす器》,同上,編號17-22;另一例曾入仇炎之舊藏,售於倫敦蘇富比1980年12月16日,編號300;另一例售於香港蘇富比1994年10月31日,編號530;再參考Linyushanren藏例,售於紐約佳士得2016年9月15日,編號717。

紙槌瓶無耳者,曾出售倫敦蘇富比2006年11月8日,編號54,現屬西泠印社美術館藏,目前借展於哈佛大學美術館 Arthur M. Sackler博物館,波士頓,載於《世界陶磁全集》,卷10,東京,1955年,圖版45。
