拍品資料及來源

徽宗趙佶,鍾迷茶事,曾言道:「盞色貴青黑,玉毫條達者為上」。如此盌釉色盈潤光潔,兔毫分明者,傳世稀珍也。撇口線條優雅瀟灑,細觀兔毫其紋,宛若褐雨輕飄,又如銀波微泛,堪稱兔毫佳器。趙宋之時,兔毫已因其謙素內斂,多為佛寺所用。黑盞鬪茶,擊拂見白花,清晰可辨,易於觀色,宋人盡皆追之。

撇沿兔毫,宋時已較仰口者為稀。1960年建窰蘆花坪遺址出土茶盞,僅約五分之一為撇口盌,詳見 Robert D. Mowry,《Hare's Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers. Chinese Brown- and Black-Glazed Ceramics, 400-1400》,哈佛藝術博物館,劍橋,馬薩諸塞州,1996年,頁217-218。

Myron S. Falk, Jr 夫人收藏有一相類撇口盌,徑較大(16.8 公分),可資比對,曾展於《Hare's Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers》,前述出處,圖版81。
