拍品資料及來源

此笠式盌,所繪花果紋精美雅致,誠明初青花紋飾之傑作,宣德官窰之經典。可證青花瓷器漸為中國宮廷所喜。較之永樂青花器形偏大且多作出口外銷,宣德製瓷,無論器形大小亦或圖案風格,皆依宮廷之好,寫宣德年款,技藝精湛。

此六瓣笠式盌,更形優雅,可窺宋代景德鎮所製白瓷原貌。形態各異之花果紋於永樂年間多見於他類器形,此盌紋樣或僅現於宣德時期,然可比一無款盌例,圖案類同,錄於《明代初年瓷器特展目錄》,國立故宮博物院,台北,1982年,編號20。

見一相似盌例,清宮舊藏,載耿寶昌,《故宮博物院藏明初青花瓷》,北京,2002年,卷2,圖版146,作者提及此類花果紋笠式盌於康熙及雍正年間多有仿製,並錄一康熙仿宣德款例,見圖版179。另有兩仿款盌例,藏台北故宮,錄《明宣德瓷器特展目錄》,台北,1980年,編號36,及《明代宣德官窰精華特展圖錄》,台北,1998年,編號62。

另可比一例,傳原屬圓明園藏,後分別為 K.L. Dawes,J.F. Woodthorpe,及 Frederick M. Mayer 遞藏,售於倫敦蘇富比1949年5月20日,編號84,及1954年4月6日,編號90,後再售於倫敦佳士得1974年6月25日,編號90。Woodthorpe 舊藏中亦見一例,售於倫敦蘇富比1956年6月5日,編號112,並與迦納爵士所藏一盌同展於1954年威尼斯雙年展;後者售於倫敦蘇富比1961年11月21日,編號36,兩盌均見《Mostra d’Arte Cinese》,義大利總督宮,威尼斯,1954年,圖錄編號642及643。亦有一例,售於倫敦蘇富比1964年3月24日,編號98,現藏紐約亞洲協會,錄 Denise Patry Leidy,《Treasures of Asian Art: The Asia Society’s Mr. and Mrs. John D.
