拍品資料及來源

此罐器形渾圓,直口微撇,鵝形耳線條流暢,神態自然,極為罕見。此罐器形、紋飾皆新穎獨特,乃出自越窰巧匠之手。越窰位於浙江紹興,興盛於晉,燒製日常器皿及隨葬禮器,以青瓷著名,釉色青綠如玉,且器形及紋飾皆不拘定式。此罐所見之獸面紋飾常見於越窰青瓷,Suzanne G. Valenstein 提出此類獸面紋有鎮墓之用,參見《Cultural Convergence in the Northern Qi Period. A Flamboyant Chinese Ceramic Container》,紐約,2007年,頁31-35。

此類多繫罐,以短頸、短口或撇口較為常見。浦上蒼穹堂《越州窰 : 動物圖鑑》展覽中,有五件短頸罐例,尺寸各異,肩飾雞首,東京,1992年,編號79-83。波士頓美術館另藏一罐,載於 Thomas Dexel,《Frühe Keramik in China》,布倫瑞克,1973年,圖版49b。另見一越窰盃,外壁堆塑相類鳥,展翅欲飛,見於《中國美術全集.陶瓷》,卷1,上海,1988年,圖版175。
