拍品資料及來源

此梅瓶,素樸無紋,器形豐腴俏美,釉色明潤,幾近無瑕,龍泉窰佳品之代表,當屬明初官作一類。時匠技藝精湛,素品器,尤為難燒,但見瑕疵,即致佳料餘廢,需比例勻稱,窰火老練,方得上品。

同類梅瓶,仍配原蓋者,存世極罕。可參考一略小例,藏台北國立故宮博物院,展於《碧綠:明代龍泉窰青瓷》,台北,2009年,圖版64;同見一無蓋例,圖版65。另見一例,器形略收,藏上野毛五島美術館,載於《世界陶磁全集.卷14:明》,東京,1976年,圖版230。亦見一相類無蓋例,橫河收藏,現存東京國立博物館,載於《東京国立博物館図版目錄‧中國陶磁篇》,卷2,東京,1990年,圖版486。兩例曾售於倫敦蘇富比,其一於1986年5月20日,編號2;其二於2004年11月10日,編號561。浙江處州龍泉窰址,曾出土多件相類例及其配蓋,見葉英挺及華雨農,《發現:處州龍泉官窰》,杭州,2005年,頁38-101。

本品器形,較明初龍泉典型梅瓶,略顯豐張,或源出景德鎮官窰青花相類品。可參考六梅瓶例,紋飾各類,高安元代窰址出土,錄於《高安元代窖藏瓷器》,上海,2005年,頁52-63。同類梅瓶,亦見紋若景德鎮窰者,可比一帶蓋例,雕梅竹紋,藏北京故宮博物院,錄於《中國陶瓷全集‧明(下)》,上海,1999年,圖版189。由此即見,時之龍泉或承官樣,以製御供之器。據官檔載,龍泉窰曾燒官器,或終於成化一朝。
