superbly potted with a compressed spherical body widening to a broad shoulder sweeping up to a tall slightly flaring cylindrical neck, flanked by a pair of ruyi handles, each handle terminating in an upturned ruyi head, all supported on a tall flared foot, the body divided by four fillets into three slightly concave horizontal registers, each register containing a row of different shou (longevity) characters, each written in seal script in slip and numbering one hundred in total, the shoulder carved with a collar of floral lappets and trefoils set between a key-fret band and ruyi heads, the neck carved on two sides and applied with a pair of confronting fish centred on a wan character suspended from the mouth of a bat above and a band of upright plantain leaves at the base of the neck, all below a wan-key-fret band and a floret diaper band around the mouth, the flared foot skirted by plantain leaves and further lappets, key-fret and ruyi heads, all beneath an even unctuous bright celadon green glaze thinning to white on the raised areas and pooling in recesses, the base carved with a six-character mark in relief within a recessed square

百壽納福

此「百壽」瓶,由著名督陶官唐英監燒,其青釉朗潤,形制珍罕,浮雕細膩,滿寓慶壽美意,非凡超絕,展現景德鎮御窰廠之精卓製瓷技藝。另僅一例,可資比對,見於日內瓦鮑氏收藏,載於 John Ayers,《Chinese Ceramics in the Baur Collection》,卷2,日內瓦,1999年,圖版295(圖一)。

唐英立志臻善製瓷工藝,可經此類體量碩大瓷品之燒造,窺覷一斑。本品所見青釉,通常用於浮雕紋樣瓶式,呈明快海綠色調,謂之「豆青」。此種釉質可使色地與浮雕圖案間形成強烈反差,異於乾隆早期常見的藍綠色「粉青」釉種,「粉青」者,因其乳濁失透,無法清晰呈現紋飾,遂多見於素面無紋之器。此瓶滿罩青釉,深海綠色,薄釉巧施,圖案顯明。清代早期單色釉登峰造極,當居魁位,透過本品,可見陶工對於色、釉技藝凝練革新之卓著成就,同時配以曼妙紋樣,使得此類優雅傑作得以呈現於世。

此瓶造型獨特,意仿古代銅器樣式,乾隆瓷器形制喜追古溯源,清初藝匠更擅將造型與樣式相合,以求無窮變化,藉以創思出新,本器亦不例外,其形或仿漢代祭祖所用青銅禮器「壺」。身為鑑賞大家的乾隆,藏古、好古,而此鑑古思變之風,無疑更深得高宗皇帝讚賞推崇。

瓶頸飾對稱「如意」形耳,映襯出皇帝對於「意必福瑞」之熱衷,其朝所製如意,數量頗豐,取材多樣。「如意」原為佛教符號,宛如此瓶頸部所飾雙魚圖案,於乾隆時期普具吉祥寓意,甚至可見其與道家紋樣相搭配。如意耳器,可比諸例,一件青釉葫蘆瓶,清宮舊藏,現存北京,載《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集.顏色釉》,香港,1999年,圖版156;一件清乾隆孔雀綠地粉彩纏枝花卉「八吉祥」圖如意耳瓶,傳曾屬 Loch 勛爵雅蓄,為 Alfred Morrison、Margadale 勛爵及戴潤齋遞藏,售於香港蘇富比2010年10月7日,編號2132;以及一件胭脂紅地如意耳瓶,北京故宮博物院藏,錄於《中國陶瓷全集》,卷15,上海,2000年,圖版50。

瓶身環繞凸棱四道,間以壽字紋三週,謂之「百壽」圖,堪稱景德鎮書匠絕技,其所涵字體百變,構思精妙,一些字形更近傳統篆文,此圖案常見於壽禮之上。著名的北京故宮博物院藏青花萬「壽」大尊,為御窰廠敬獻康熙皇帝,以賀萬壽佳節之禮。錄於《盛世華章》,英國皇家藝術學院,倫敦,2006年,編號302。此尊或為此類紋飾之靈感來源,其通體以青花工書「壽」字,總計一萬個,寓意「萬壽無疆」。「百壽」題材流行於有清一代,其中見有雍正作例,如一件霽藍地描金「百壽」紋高足盌,藏於舊金山亞洲藝術博物館,載於 Teresa Tse Bartholomew,《中國吉祥圖案》,三藩市,2006年,頁223;另有一件乾隆仿漆雕瓶例,器身文字高浮雕,錄於《故宮清瓷圖錄─乾隆窰.嘉慶窰.道光窰》,卷2,東京,1981年,圖版92。

高浮雕青釉作例,見一壺形器,飾仿古紋帶,屬趙從衍家族基金會舊藏,最近一次售於香港蘇富比2006年4月10日,編號23;另見一相若壺例,鮑氏收藏,載 John Ayers,前述出處,圖版290。亦比一例,通體飾多對浮雕正面擬古龍紋,售於香港蘇富比2005年5月2日,編號224;另有一例,飾高浮雕纏枝蓮與蝠紋,屬 A.E. Hippisley 收藏,售於紐約蘇富比1925年1月30日,編號249,同器或後再次售於香港蘇富比1987年5月20日,編號488,及紐約佳士得1988年6月3日,編號282;著名的放山居罐,精雕單龍,售於香港蘇富比1988年5月17日,編號75;亦有一青釉瓶例,龍形執耳,飾八吉祥圖案,售於倫敦蘇富比2007年5月16日,編號7210。
