西風繪瓷景泰藍

雍正帝在位年間，景泰藍並不甚受重視，至乾隆之時，弘曆對銅胎掐絲琺瑯器尤為鍾愛，除大規模製作外，嘗下命以瓷仿傚，本品當屬其中。當時也有以銅胎畫琺瑯仿掐絲琺瑯之品，以描金細線代替曲捲銅絲。雖遠早於十八世紀前，已有模倣不同材質之作，但乾隆年間，工藝精湛，仿學藝作近乎完美，時出幾可亂真之品。畫師在本品上以描金勾勒，妙仿景泰藍上之鎏金銅絲，其流麗線條，與如意雙耳對比鮮明，雅致大方，賞心悅目。

本品色彩仿金屬胎掐絲琺瑯器，但其色地上綴紋飾繁密，風格上更接近於洋彩瓷作。「洋彩」一詞，為高宗所用，概指由歐洲傳教士傳入清宮，以舶來色彩、西方技巧，加添白料調研，繪飾洋風彩瓷之法，御作坊嘗經多番實驗始成功採用，此瓶上之八吉祥紋與洋花相配，正為佳例，見證中西交流。此瓶花卉紋飾，看似隨意散佈，不依對稱，然而空間布局卻平衡勻稱，既不冷清，亦不覺緊逼，設計精巧，令人驚嘆。加上金色勾勒細緻，與松石綠地相互映襯，加倍鮮明。

乾隆帝喜好吉祥紋飾，尤好如意，在位期間，製作成千，材質各樣，本瓶飾如意雙耳，正合帝意。如意及八吉祥，原為佛教紋飾，但至乾隆一朝，已泛作禎符，甚有與道教紋樣共飾一器之例。

比較北京故宮博物院清宮舊藏三例，圖均載於《故宮博物藏文物珍品全集．琺瑯彩．粉彩》，香港，1999年，圖版115、119、118。一為葫蘆瓶，同以金彩勾勒花卉以仿掐絲琺瑯，惟缺八吉祥，且無耳，署礬紅彩篆款；另一例器形較簡，瓶耳與本品有別，所繪花卉紋飾也以金彩畫骨，署金彩款；第三例為松石綠地瓶，如意耳與本品相近，畫花卉紋飾卻乏金線勾勒。另可比較數例，器形、紋飾各異，如松石綠地粉彩折枝花卉福壽延綿圖雙龍耳瓶，售於香港蘇富比2013年10月8日，編號201（圖一）。另一例也繪雲蝠紋，售於倫敦蘇富比1991年12月10日，編號318。還可參考松石綠地纏枝花卉福壽圖瓶，綴礬紅鋪首耳，三度售於香港蘇富比，分別為1989年11月14日，編號309，2000年5月2日，編號644，以及2010年4月8日，編號1852。
