拍品資料及來源
觀本品盤,白潤素雅,纖柔清秀,隱透甜膩之感,足見十五世紀初景德鎮匠工之精湛技藝。宋時青白,釉色偏冷,元代加以改良,創卵白釉,至明永樂一朝,繼而精進,創甜白釉瓷,釉質光滑潤潔,釉色純淨淡雅。知名學者 Nigel Wood 於其書中記,甜白釉料,以釉石為主,幾乎不加釉灰,方得此上乘色質,詳見《Chinese Glazes. Their Origins, Chemistry and Recreation》,倫敦,1999年,頁66。
永樂甜白釉器瓷片,於明代御窰遺址永樂早期及晚期堆積層中均有出土,足以證明永樂皇帝對甜白器之喜愛。此外,永樂帝尚佛事,而白色於佛教儀式中尤為重要。另有一說,永樂尚白瓷,亦有政治原因,因白色主孝悼,而永樂皇帝即位後世人多有輿論,故或借此以安眾心(見《Defining Yongle. Imperial Art in the Early Fifteenth-Century China》,大都會藝術博物館,紐約,2005年,頁35)。
參考一相類盤例,藏台北國立故宮博物院,錄《明代早期瓷器特展》,台北,1982年,編號69;另見一例,載《東洋陶磁名品圖錄》,東京,1980年,圖版100;第三例收錄於敏求精舍展覽,《明清單色釉器展覽》,香港藝術博物館,香港,1977年,編號129。另有數例售於拍場:一例出自 W.W.Winkworth 及 Eumofopolous 收藏,曾兩度售於倫敦蘇富比,1940年5月30日,編號319及1963年2月19日,編號23;另一例售香港蘇富比1988年5月17日,編號38;第三例出自 Frederick M.Mayer 收藏,售倫敦佳士得1974年6月24日,編號78。
相類紋飾者,亦見青花例,如見一盤,藏北京故宮博物院,錄《明代洪武永樂御窰瓷器:景德鎮御窰遺址出土與故宮博物院藏傳世瓷器對比展》,北京,2015年,編號26;另見一例,售香港蘇富比1997年11月5日,編號1366,繼售香港佳士得2003年10月27日,編號625。
