拍品資料及來源

此品體型碩大,青花卷雲中飾一對五爪巨龍,氣勢澎湃。此類署嘉靖年款器物非常稀有,皆繪有龍紋,然設計背景各異,包括龍翔游於雲、水草或纏枝蕃蓮間等。據R.L.Hobson,《The Wares of the Ming Dynasty》,倫敦,1923年,頁19及110所述,尺寸寬大如本品之器物製作尤其艱難,燒製此種瓷缸可歷時整整九天,完美成品稀若晨星,官窯瓷匠皆為之惆悵。

胡惠春故藏有一相關作例,現藏上海博物館,及另一造型相若之瓷缸,署嘉靖年款,繪有佛獅戲繡球,二者皆錄於陸明華,《明代官窯瓷器》,上海,2007年,圖3-84、3-85;一作例售於紐約佳士得1994年12月2日,編號380,又於香港佳士得再度易手,2004年9月21日,編號242;另一作例為景德鎮陶瓷博物館藏,缸形較本品略深,刊於《景德鎮瓷器》,景德鎮,1982,頁44。

參見費城賓州州立大學帕爾默藝術館藏一穿蓮游龍紋缸,2004年3月24日售於紐約蘇富比,編號640;另有一水草龍紋缸,售於紐約蘇富比2009年9月16日,編號188。

嘉靖瓷缸亦見繪有趕珠翼龍穿梭海波巨石間,一例曾展於悉尼新南威爾士州藝術館,《Chinese Ceramics》,悉尼,1965年,編號29;另一作例售於倫敦蘇富比1989年5月31日,編號82。
