拍品資料及來源

本品「佛獅戲繡球」之題材富有吉祥寓意,獅子矯健威猛,生氣勃勃,喻意祥瑞,象徵對位高權重者的祝願。傳統以來,佛獅常見坐立於底座上,雌獅有少獅相伴,雄獅則戲繡球。本品乃為出口市場燒製,故有為迎合西方市場作出調整。

同 帶鎏金銅座之一對作例可見於巴黎羅浮宮收藏內,圖刊於DF Lunsigh Scheurleer,《Chinesisches und Japanisches Porzellan in Europaischen Fassungen》,維爾茨堡,1980年,圖版376。同藏內另有一對作例連帶座鐘,圖版380。前述兩對作例皆為康熙年製。巴黎尼辛德康盟多博物館(Musée Nissim de Camondo)典藏內亦見一對十七世紀德化白瓷作例,同帶鎏金銅座, 載於同上,圖版384。一對素胎加彩作例錄於Ulrich Pietsch,《China, Japan. Meissen. The Dresden Porcelain Collection》,德累斯頓, 2006年,頁29。該書指出瓷獅塑像在康熙時期大量燒製以供國內外市場需求。此等佳作於歐洲廣作粉飾傢居之用,本品上的歐洲製底座足可證明這一點。
