拍品資料及來源

此類嬰戲圖盌,寓意百子千孫,臻美精工應是出自官窰無疑,然多無署年款,因而難以斷代,引起各界爭論。現今看法,此類瓷盌應出自明中「空白期」正統、景泰、天順年間,或成化一朝。此構圖源自永樂朝,類似作例可見於展覽圖錄《天民樓藏瓷》,香港藝術館,香港,1987年,編號15。嬰戲圖紋樣亦可見於宣德年款瓷,參考《明代宣德官窰菁華特展圖錄》,國立故宮博物院,台北,1998年,編號152。

景德鎮明官窰遺址成化年代地層,曾出土四種構圖各異之嬰戲圖盌,俱帶成化年款,紋飾與本品相關卻不盡相同,錄於《The Emperor’s broken china. Reconstructing Chenghua porcelain》,倫敦蘇富比,1995年,編號54-7,其中兩件圖見於頁52-3及封套;另兩件則錄於《成窰遺珍:景德鎮珠山出土成化官窰瓷器》,徐氏藝術館,香港,1993年,編號C72及C73。

上海博物館藏兩件相似瓷盌,皆無年款,錄於陸明華,《明代官窰瓷器》,上海,2007年,圖版3-55及56,皆斷代為十五世紀中期;另一盌歸納為正德瓷,錄於耿寶昌,《明清瓷器鑑定》,香港,1993年,頁117,圖220。大英博物館亦有一盌,著錄於 Jessica Harrison-Hall,《Ming Ceramics in the British Museum》,倫敦,2001年,編號6:2,斷代成化。

現存大英博物館之大衛德爵士舊藏《古玩圖》,記錄雍正御藏珍器,繪製於雍正六年(1728),其中二疊共十只瓷盌,與是盌近似,屬不帶年款之類(圖一),錄於康蕊君,前述出處,頁49,圖12。
