拍品資料及來源

本品紋飾獨特,取源南宋著名畫家陳容之《九龍圖卷》。此設計巧妙用於瓷器上應功歸江西景德鎮之御窯廠督陶官唐英(1682-1756)。唐英隸屬漢軍正白旗,十六歲時任官內務府員外郎,值養心殿,其間飽覽宮廷藏畫奇珍,奠定日後製瓷承古開今之扎實基礎。

此作龍紋常見於不同造型,釉彩不一。有一墨彩筆筒作例,帶唐英題詩並款,屬香港中文大學文物館藏,載於林業強,《Tang Ying (1682-1756). The Imperial Factory Superintendent at Jingdezhen》,《Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society》,卷63,倫敦,頁69,圖版5。另有一青花「九龍騰雲」紋天球瓶,曾售於香港蘇富比1986年5月20月,編號40,現為鴻禧美術館藏,載於James Spencer,《Selected Chinese Ceramics from Han to Qing Dynasties》,台北,1990年,圖版126。尚有一梅瓶,飾以釉裏紅龍紋游於青花雲間,售於香港蘇富比2003年10月26日,編號136。

繪瓷工匠用筆精鍊,色澤掌握濃淡相宜,以細勁線條勾出輪廓,煙雲溢騰於龍鳳之間。Montague Meyer舊藏有造型相類之作例,尺寸稍大,邊綴相類飾紋,蓋飾雙鳥棲於梅枝間,分售於倫敦佳士得1980年4月14日,編號286,及香港蘇富比1991年4月30日,編號125。

鳴鳳穿梭竹芝間,寓意竹報平安,萬事如意。
