拍品資料及來源

蓋盒描繪成雙鳥蝶,院裏花間盈盈飛逐,靈巧生動,悠然自得,罕見於萬曆五彩器。其風格延續成化鬪彩紋飾,然雛例僅見景德鎮明代官窰遺址出土物,該成化鬪彩蓋盒殘器遭棄置廢品堆中,卻僅有青花勾線,未有施彩,收錄於《皇帝の磁器:新発見の景德鎮官窰》,大阪市立東洋陶磁美術館,1995 年,編號114(圖一)。

另一萬曆五彩盒,款式同類,為英國曼徹斯特市美術館收藏,可見於 C.M. Kauffmann,〈Chinese Pottery and Porcelain in the Manchester City Art Galleries〉,《Oriental Art》,新系列,卷五,第3期,1959年秋,頁120-22,圖版3。另有兩例,售於倫敦蘇富比1980年12月17日,編號632及1993年12月7日,編號236,前者原屬 R. Wistrand 收藏。

此外,尚有兩件紋飾造型稍異的萬曆盒,為德國德累斯頓的茨溫格宮所收藏,列展於《Chinesisches Porzellan der Mingdynastie》,德國德累斯頓州立藝術博物館,德累斯頓,1987年,編號83及84。香港蘇富比1982年11月10日(編號537)售出的晚明無款蓋盒,紋飾與本品亦相近。
