拍品資料及來源

宋初,士大夫經科舉遴拔為官,取代世襲權貴執政治國,理學大興,崇尚鑒史以修德。此爐形制古雅,仿高古銅奩,正與當時流行之理學相乎。尚古之風盛及瓷業,宋匠常依古玉及青銅器形製瓷,遞衍遞嬗。本例式樣可溯至漢;漢有鎏金銅樽,熊形足,配獸首銜環耳,附蓋,可見一熊足獸紋樽例,鑄有「溫酒樽」銘,知其為酒器,並有西漢成帝「河平三年造」字,即製於公元前26年,圖見李學勤編,《中國美術全集工藝美術編5:青銅器》,卷2,北京,1986年,圖版217,另錄鎏金銅酒樽一例,下配承盤,北京故宮博物院藏,圖版236,應為東漢光武年製(公元25-57年),腰間環飾三道弦紋,口及底沿又各添飾弦紋,與此爐別無二致。

此類三足奩式爐自宋風靡,今猶不衰,定窰弦紋奩式爐更乃經典。有相類宋代定窰五例,形制比例不一,弦紋排布各異,刊於《故宮歷代香具圖錄》,台北故宮博物院,1994年,編號35-39,另錄約同時期之景德鎮窰仿定爐例(編號44),亦見一年代略晚之德化窰仿例(編號67),及一「廣窰」類例(編號71),或出廣州,以上各例皆為台北故宮博物院寶蓄。前述定窰五例,其中三例同錄於《定州花瓷—院藏定窰系白瓷特展》,國立故宮博物院,台北,2014年,編號II-5.6.7,皆附木蓋,蓋循雍正年間宮廷技法,以元、明玉雕作鈕。

比較一相類瓷爐,尺寸相約,口沿鑲金屬釦,下方飾兩道弦紋,卡爾肯普舊藏,載於 Bo Gyllensvärd,《Chinese Ceramics in the Carl Kempe Collection》,斯德哥爾摩,1964年,圖版447,售於倫敦蘇富比2008年5月14日,編號238。又一例,刊於曾憲七及 Robert Paul Dart,《The Charles B. Hoyt Collection in the Museum of Fine Arts: Boston》,卷2,波士頓,1972年,圖版29。另可參考一尺寸較大之例,藏北京故宮博物院,刊於《定瓷雅集:故宮博物院珍藏及出土定窰瓷器薈萃》,北京,2012年,圖版41,旁附一較小例,湖南長沙楊家灣1號墓出土,現藏湖南省博物館,圖版40。天津市藝術博物館且蓄一爐,錄於《天津市藝術博物館藏瓷》,香港,1993年,圖版26。還可比較一殘例,尺寸甚小,河北曲陽定窰窰址出土,載於《中國古瓷窰大系:中國定窰》,北京,2012年,圖版108。

其他官窰也有製此類弦紋三足爐,以獻宮廷。可考河南寶豐汝窰二例,見汪慶正、范冬青及周麗麗,《汝窰的發現》,香港,1991年,圖版59及66,其一為大維德爵士舊藏,現存倫敦大英博物館,其二貯於北京故宮博物院。仍可尋一杭州官窰例,台北故宮博物院藏,錄於《貴似晨星—清宮傳世12至14世紀青瓷特展》,國立故宮博物院,台北,2016年,編號II-2,圖錄作者也有提及杭州老虎洞及郊壇下窰址所出類例,見頁67。
