modelled after a Middle Eastern metal prototype, the flattened spherical body rising to a waisted neck and a small bulb-shaped mouth, set with two elegantly arched strap handles ending in a leaf-shaped terminal, freely painted in deep tones of cobalt accented with 'heaping and piling', the domed circular front and back with a formal rosette centred by a yin-yang medallion within a ring of petal lappets, surrounded by a radiating eight-pointed starburst of alternating foliate and floral motifs, the larger leaves dotted at the apex, all within a formal 'half-cash' diaper border around the edge, the upper bulb picked out with a narrow band of asters and carnations between double-line borders repeated at the rim and a single fillet collaring the neck, the handles outlined with double lines and decorated with a spray of lotus at the terminus, above two blue lines running down the narrow sides, covered overall with a glossy glaze of fine, smooth texture, the low rounded square foot ring left unglazed, wood stand

Condition
The lower section of the vase, from the base to below the pair of handles, has been extensively restored and retouched. It is probably to conceal some cracks, which are now only partially visible, such as a 4.5 cm section at the shoulder below one of the handle, and another 3 cm vertical section below near the central medallion (very likely the extension of the same crack). The top sections of both handles have been slightly restored (2 and 1.3 cm respectively). Areas of the unglazed footring have also been restored and the recessed base is covered with overpaint. There is also a 1.5 cm hairline crack to the mouth.

拍品資料及來源
本品屬明初景德鎮御器廠經典造型之一，極受中外皇室青睞。形制別於往昔中國瓷作，創思靈感源於波斯，開闢蹊徑。其瓶口修長，邊廓規整，淺足，為永樂大扁瓶之典型特徵。
與本品形制相若，但尺寸略小之作例，見於土耳其奧斯曼蘇丹珍藏，載於康蕊君，《Chinese Ceramics in the Topkapi Saray Museum, Istanbul》，倫敦，1986 年，卷2，圖版616。另見上海博物館藏例，錄於《青花磁器展》，松屋銀座，東京，1988 年，編號16。亦有一例，曾屬靜觀堂及黃鼎軒雅藏，錄於《好古敏求－敏求精舍三十五週年紀念展》，香港藝術館，香港，1995 年，編號124，售於香港蘇富比1991 年10 月29 日，編號29，後兩次售於香港佳士得，分別為1996 年11 月3 日，編號545，以及2006 年11 月28 日，編號1512。相近扁瓶還可參見一例，售於巴黎蘇富比2009 年12 月18 日，編號65。
本品造形紋飾應源於中近東陶器或金屬器原型，然迄今未現完全一致之範例。有關其來源之探究，可參考 Margaret Medley，〈Islam and Chinese Porcelain in the 14th and Early 15th Centuries〉，《香港東方陶瓷學會會刊》，第6 期，1982-4 年，其中列舉一件英國大衛德爵士故藏宣德款扁瓶，見圖11。John Alexander Pope 在〈An Early Ming Porcelain in Muslim Style〉文中，刊錄另一件青花扁瓶例，《Aus der Welt der Islamischen Kunst. Festschrift für Ernst Kuhnel》，柏林，1959 年，圖版3B，並載一件嵌飾銅壺，作相若綬帶狀雙耳及蒜頭口，見圖版1B，後者為 Eumorfopoulos 典藏，售於倫敦蘇富比1940 年6 月5 日，編號72，現藏華盛頓弗利爾美術館。
