拍品資料及來源

此盆造型典麗,釉色絢爛,屬鈞窰花盆佳作。鈞窰器形簡約,上厚施色釉,其明晦深淺變化,隱顯之間,讓人愛不釋手。此類花盆之燒造,須先以模製瓷胎,再罩施藍紫色調之釉,盆底有刻數字「一」至「十」者,應為成套器物中各品之編號。此類花盆,昔時已為之珍貴,至清代宮廷仍有例可見。參見北京故宮博物院藏《胤禛妃行樂圖》十二屏之一,展於《盛世華章》,英國皇家藝術學院,倫敦,2005年,編號173。此套圖屏製於康熙年間,當時胤禛仍為皇子。圖中可見一相似玫瑰紫釉花盆,置於妃嬪窗台之上。

一相類花盆,底亦刻「三」字,圖錄於《故宮藏瓷大系.鈞窰之部》,台北,1999年,圖版22,同書另有兩例,釉色不同,一底刻「五」字,圖版23,另一為「七」字,圖版24。比較北京故宮博物院藏兩例,器形與此同,載於《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集.兩宋瓷器(上)》,香港,1996年,圖版15、16;紐約大都會藝術博物館藏有一例,錄於《Oriental Ceramics: The World’s Great Collections》,東京、紐約、三藩市,1980-82年,卷11,圖版 67;另有一例,刊於 R.L. Hobson,《The George Eumorfopoulos Collection Catalogue of Chines, Corean and Persian Pottery and Porcelain》,卷3,倫敦,1926年,圖版III,編號C16,曾售於倫敦蘇富比1940年5月29日,編號179,現藏倫敦維多利亞與艾伯特博物館。還有兩例,底亦刻「三」字,罩紫釉,色調濃淡有致,原 J. Piermont Morgan 珍藏,曾為賓夕凡尼亞大學博物館藏品,售於香港蘇富比1975年3月25日,編號224及225,現藏於東京出光美術館。

此類鈞窰花盆之斷代,尚無定論。史上有兩學說,一指其為北宋十二世紀,另一認為屬元或明初。曾經有一批鈞窰帶編號花器殘片,與北宋「宣和元寶」錢模伴隨出土,且有指其陶土成份相同,支持北宋之說。然近在深圳研討會上,錢模之斷代受質疑。對照年代較明確之品,如龍泉及景德鎮窰之青瓷或青花盆、瓶或花器,現普遍接受將此類鈞器斷代明初。承清宮舊藏,兩岸故宮存不少刻有數字之鈞瓷,且常附鐫宮中殿堂名稱,相信乃明朝宮廷御用花器。
