本蓋鍾以洋彩飾花卉紋,巧工精繪,華麗典雅,屬乾隆早期珍稀洋彩瓷。弘曆鍾愛茗茶,亦好繁縟華麗之品,此蓋鍾兼屬兩者之臻,誠為珍器。景德鎮御窰廠督陶官唐英,依乾隆帝美學品味,創製獨特珍品,器形、顏色、技巧創思層出,並取思各式材質之器,本品正屬一例。

藍地艷麗,上施洋彩軋道花卉紋飾,渙發異國風韻。此類洋彩瓷,取材西洋裝飾技法,融入中國傳統紋飾,工藝高超,施作精準,成品新穎異趣,繁美雅麗,然而寥若晨星,極是珍罕。「洋彩」意指色彩摹傚西洋繪畫,常以白料相調。此盌纏枝洋花主要飾以深淺青綠、粉紅等西洋色調,並以濃豔藍地襯托,如此配搭,清代瓷器當中前所未見。洋彩瓷,深獲高宗青睞,珍藏於紫禁城內廷乾清宮及圓明園之中。廖寶秀,〈乾隆磁胎洋彩綜述〉,《華麗彩瓷.乾隆洋彩》,國立故宮博物院,台北,2008年,頁36,提及高宗曾於奏摺硃批為何乾隆五年以前所燒瓷器遠遜於雍正年間所製者,經此嚴厲責問,乾隆七年八月(1741年),進呈洋彩器六十九件。

針錐剔刻卷葉紋,連綿不絕,細巧繁工,屬唐英開創之「錦上添花」技法。精巧錦地托襯嬌蕊卷葉,空間和諧婉約,恰如當朝由傳教士及廣東歐洲商隊傳入清廷之法國洛可可式織錦,正好迎合乾隆皇帝喜好繁縟華麗之意。台北國立故宮博物院收藏一例,紋飾相近,曾展於《華麗彩瓷.乾隆洋彩》,出處同上,編號41。

此類蓋略小於鍾之式,似乎流行於十八世紀早期。呷茶時,只須輕按蓋鈕,茶葉即聚於蓋沿而不隨茶水流出。乾隆帝尤好品茶,御製詠茶之詩逾二百首,述品茶、製茶、煮茶等事。清代品茶之法,依明洪武所訂傳統,如用茶葉而非茶餅、茶粉等,故此清代茶具與洪武大致相近,但隨著清代瓷藝蓬勃發展,風格更趨華麗精緻,其器形、紋飾變得更為多樣。比較一蓋鍾,尺寸較大,飾胭脂紅彩錦上添花纏枝洋花,一面開光繪山水亭閣,另一面書御題詩《雨中烹茶泛臥遊書室有作》,售於香港蘇富比1994年12月6日,編號211,並曾展於《清代康雍乾官窰瓷器〈望星樓藏瓷〉》,明尼阿波利斯藝術學院,明尼阿波利斯,2004年,編號56;與此成對之例售於巴黎佳士得2016年12月14日,編號72。

此類茶鍾,應甚得乾隆帝青睞,在位年間有製各式材質、紋樣之例。比較台北故宮博物院藏瓷胎仿剔紅蓋鍾,曾展於《也可以清心-茶器.茶事.茶畫》,台北,2002年,編號139,同書另載一金胎掐絲琺瑯纏枝花紋例,編號159。且參考北京故宮博物院收藏乾隆帶款白地錦上添花礬紅彩龍鳳紋例,載於《故宮珍藏康雍乾瓷器圖錄》,香港,1995年,頁332。紐約大都會藝術博物館也藏一例,售於紐約佳士得2016年9月15日,編號967。還可比較一粉紅地胭脂彩龍鳳呈祥蓋鍾,兩度售於紐約蘇富比,先為1975年4月23/24日,編號342,後入 Frieda and Milton Rosenthal 伉儷典藏,再於2008年9月16日拍出,編號125。另可參考 C. Philip Cardeiro 舊藏粉彩萬花圖茶鍾,售於倫敦佳士得2014年5月13日,編號92。
