拍品資料及來源

此類體形碩大的瓷盤不乏存世,惟做工及紋飾各異。此作尤屬當中精品,鈷藍料濃豔亮麗,蓮塘鴛鴦紋繪筆流暢。儘管此類元代瓷盤皆為獨一無二之作,但仍可比較一伊斯坦布爾托普卡匹皇宮博物館藏之作例,錄於康蕊君,《托普卡帕宮博物館的中國瓷器》,圖錄II,倫敦,1986年,圖版569;同書頁495中亦載有德里圖格魯克皇宮出土一例。另有一例,出自阿德比爾寺,現藏德黑蘭伊朗國家博物館,其口沿紋飾略異,外繪蓮瓣紋,錄於John Pope,《阿德比爾寺所藏中國陶瓷》,倫敦,1956年,圖版7。北京故宮博物院藏一相類折沿菱口盤,載於《中國陶瓷全集》,冊11,上海,2000年,圖版161。

一同式折沿盤曾售於倫敦蘇富比1976年4月6日,編號107。另一作例,繪蓮塘花卉紋,售於香港蘇富比2005年5月2日,編號638。
