拍品資料及來源

本品紋飾異常精緻,五爪龍以礬紅料勾勒,氣勢剛陽澎湃,鳳凰則改以粉紅用陰柔筆意繪畫,兩者對比鮮明,相得益彰。背景以素白為地,飾纏枝牡丹、芙蓉,帶乾隆瓷器遺風,為嘉慶早期之典型設計。參見一作例,屬乾隆器並款,以粉彩礬紅繪開光式山水圖,分别兩度售於香港蘇富比,1982年5月22日,編號142及1990年11月13日,編號310;另一乾隆作例,飾纏枝花紋,展於《機暇清賞:懷海堂藏清代御窯瓷缾》,中國文化研究所文物館,香港中文大學,香港,2007年,編號126。參見同展上一乾隆壁瓶作例,同纏枝花紋,近足處環飾蓮瓣紋,編號130。

龍鳳為中國傳統神獸之首,富於吉祥意義,故常見於新婚賀禮。龍象徵皇權至高無上,鳳凰則代表太陽寓意多子,亦是皇后之象徵。本品龍鳳呈祥,祝頌連生貴子、婚姻和睦。

參見一相關作例,與本品略異,瓶頸纏枝花紋下環飾如意紋,近足處繪蓮瓣紋,2009年9月15日售於紐約蘇富比,編號462。另一作例瓶蓋佚失,售於1995年6月5日倫敦蘇富比,編號170。
