描述
- ceramic
the finely potted pear-shaped body rising from a splayed foot to a generously rounded lower body extending to a narrow waisted neck, the shoulders set with a ribbed ear handle ending in a carved ruyi-head across from the tall spout secured with a strut carved with whispy clouds, all below the trumpet mouth, glazed overall in a thick smooth 'sweet-white' (tianbai) glaze
Condition
The ewer is slightly slanted and the tip of the spout has been polished, but otherwise the overall condition is very good. The base of the handle has a glaze crack. There are also a few iron spots, short firing cracks to the unglazed footring, original body lines, and areas of slightly discolouration.

拍品資料及來源
此執壺釉白濁甘潤，器形勻雅，選佳材，製工精熟，足見明初景德鎮高超瓷藝。宋時有瓷，青中閃白，名曰「青白」；延續至元，白中閃青，謂之「樞府」；繼至永樂，釉方精進，窰溫略升，所出白器，溫潤甜膩感極強，遂稱「甜白」。永樂甜白，多為祭祀禮器，配料獨一，僅見單色品類。此執壺形制，屬甜白之典型，另有其他器形者，景德鎮窰址出土，見鴻禧美術館展覽《景德鎮出土明初官窰瓷器》，鴻禧美術館，台北，1996年，圖版95-99。

以從來認知，此壺形制，被視為源出中東金屬器。今有新考，南宋見執壺一類，身形矮小，似立卵，無頸短流，或為雛形。入元後，已見與本品相若者，參考一青白例，打撈於韓國新安郡沿海處，公元1323年沉船遺存，錄於《Relics Salvaged from the Seabed off Sinan. Materials I》，首爾，1985年，圖版94。另見一例，玫茵堂收藏，載康蕊君，《玫茵堂中國陶瓷》，卷4，倫敦，2010年，圖版1614。至永樂朝，如類器形已臻成熟，比例均勻秀雅，造型簡潔美觀，此後歷經數朝百餘載，漸衰漸殆，參考康蕊君，〈明永樂青花如意開光式「蓮紋」執壺〉，香港蘇富比2010年4月8日，頁167。
