鈞瓷菱口盤珍稀罕有,此盤尺寸見大,沿作七菱,異於常見之六菱或八菱,更是難得非凡。著錄未見相似造形、尺寸,且帶紫斑之例。

此類鈞窰盤器多為較小尺寸,平折沿,或有紫斑,圈足無釉,見支釘紋,參考大維德爵士珍藏一例,現存大英博物館,刊載於《Illustrated Catalogue of Ru, Guan, Jun, Guangdong and Yixing Wares in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art》,倫敦,1999年,編號93,同錄一件綠鈞盤,底帶五支釘痕,編號A66。支釘乃入窰時墊於器下,燒造完成後留於器底痕跡,周邊積釉,尤為金代製瓷特色,燒造尺寸較小盤器則僅需三支釘。南宋、金代時期,中國南北已見菱口器形,元時更為盛行,可見於陶瓷、銀器、漆作等。早期作例盤壁仍作圓弧,元例則見盤壁順應盤沿修作稜角;參考大英博物館藏南宋官窰六菱盤,錄於 Basil Gray,《Sung Porcelain and Stoneware》,倫敦,1984年,圖版109;藏品中還有一件金代定窰十菱盤,載於 S.J. Vainker,《Chinese Pottery and Porcelain》,倫敦,1991年,圖版72。

此件鈞盤經典可貴,然難尋相類之例,菱口盤器僅見北京故宮藏一宋例,施單色天藍釉,尺寸較小,圈足略窄,六菱盤沿,刊於《鈞瓷雅集:故宮博物院珍藏及出土鈞窰瓷器薈萃》,北京,2013年,圖版20;此盤並載錄於《故宮博物院藏文物精品全集:兩宋瓷器(上)》,香港,1996年,圖版228,並論及菱口器形,製作艱困不易。另一件類同故宮藏品之鈞窰菱口盤,尺寸亦小,無紫斑,1991年6月10日售於倫敦佳士得,編號78,1995年6月9日售於倫敦蘇富比,編號182。

禹州遺址出土可見鈞釉紫斑小盤,淺沿菱口,但器形相異且品質低落,參考《禹州鈞台窰》,2008年,彩圖版99:1、99:3;另一例火侯不佳,嚴重縮釉,刊於 R.L. Hobson,《The George Eumorfopoulos Collection of Chinese, Corean and Persian Pottery and Porcelain》,倫敦,1925-8年,卷3,圖版XIII,編號C61;並比較仇焱之舊藏天藍鈞釉菱口小盤,曾二度售於倫敦蘇富比,1980年12月16日,編號274,1986年12月9日,編號121,及紐約佳蘇富比1988年11月29日,編號153;M. Komor、Georges Debatz遞藏一例,1983年11月30日售於紐約佳士得,編號343。

鈞窰乃宋代名瓷,以河南禹州鈞台窰為主要窰址,亦燒造於河南其他地區,如寶豐清涼寺汝窰出土文物可見,《寶豐清涼寺汝窰》,鄭州,2008年,彩圖版183,及《故宮博物院藏中國古代窰址標本:河南卷》,卷1,北京,2005年。

河南三大重要窰址,汝窰、張公巷、鈞窰之間的相互關聯,可參考北京保利藝術博物館2009年專題展覽,展品包括禹州寶豐以南,葉縣出土相類藍釉盤,矮足,底見支釘痕;參考二件折沿圓盤,底見三支釘紋,還有一件尺寸略大圓盤,底有五支釘痕,《河南新出宋金名窰瓷器特展》,保利藝術博物館,北京,2009年,頁120-21、150-51。

部分中國學者稱此類盤器為「汝鈞」,見劉濤,《宋遼金紀年瓷器》,北京,2004年,頁149-50,此處刊載寶豐出土天藍釉圓盤,圈足、支釘紋均與此拍品相似,圖11-17。
