sturdily potted with a well-proportioned rounded shoulder tapering to a countersunk base and surmounted by a short waisted neck, the body divided into three main registers with three iron-red lines, the central frieze painted with large multi-coloured flowering peony blooms borne on a curling leafy stem meandering across the exterior and bearing floral buds above a band of angular scrolls, the lower body with a band of upright lotus petals enclosing ruyi-shaped lappets, as well as stylised trefoil and circular motifs, all below the broad shoulder decorated with a pair of phoenix soaring amidst further peony scrolls, the mythical creatures vibrantly rendered with fine plumage and multi-coloured tail feathers, between two 'classic' scroll bands, the well-fitted circular cover tapering to a domed top and surmounted by a bud finial, the sides with brightly enamelled peony blossoms wreathed by leafy stems, the top with stylised lotus lappets radiating from the finial, the finial enamelled with slender petals

拍品資料及來源

相類梅瓶雖有傳世,但帶原蓋者極罕。一例缺蓋,尺寸略小,1987年3月23日售於倫敦佳士得,編號405;紐約蘇富比售出另一瓶,足上蓮瓣紋施黃彩,1981年5月8日,編號332。比較一件較大梅瓶,蓮瓣紋較寬,瓣瓣色彩相異,二度售於香港蘇富比,1991年4月30日,編號128,及2010年10月8日,編號2685;另一瓶售於倫敦蘇富比,1985年5月22日,編號191;John Buchanan 爵士舊藏亦有一帶蓋梅瓶,略大,刊於 R. Soame Jenyns,《Later Chinese Porcelain》,倫敦,1954年,圖版88。

此件梅瓶屬十八世紀燒造之鬪彩瓷,於釉下青花勾勒之輪廓內填入各色釉上彩,製作靈感由明代掐絲琺瑯器而來,首作於明成化年間,以當朝盛名遠播之鬪彩雞缸盃及高足盌為代表。鬪彩瓷雋秀雅緻,出自成化官窰更顯尊貴,深受清人推崇愛慕,尤得雍正及乾隆帝青睞。

梅瓶紋飾取材成化瓷,青花細筆描繪,纏枝綠葉纖柔圍繞盛放牡丹,宛若成化高足盃之鬪彩轉枝蓮紋,參考台北故宮博物院藏二對,錄於《成化瓷器特展圖錄》,國立故宮博物院,台北,2003年,編號171-4,同錄一件靈芝紋蓋罐,編號118。
