拍品資料及來源

本品胎骨精細,質薄體輕,呈海棠式,棱角明快,線條柔順,由兩模分坯垂合而成,為宋朝罕見製瓷之法。其貫承宋廷質樸古雅之極簡審美情趣,非靈巧精湛之技藝不能致。觀之,胎深灰,高溫窰燒後呈鐵紫色,青釉泛灰,發色靜穆瑩潤,片紋細密精緻,可斷為南宋官窰器。靖康二年(1127年),南宋遷都臨安(今杭州),時北方諸窰(如河南寶豐汝窰)奉燒貢瓷難以為續,遂於杭州另設官窰燒製宮廷用瓷。依本品之胎釉特徵,應出郊壇下窰,其址位於今杭州南部烏龜山。

此瓶呈梨形,通體起十棱,身似棱瓜,口足外撇若瓣花,龍泉窰也有見此器形,然龍泉者,形稍遜,胎釉亦有別,且胎體厚重,與官窰所出相異。四川省遂寧市金魚村,1234年遭蒙軍入侵,1242年被毀,其窖藏出土兩形制相似之瓶,圖見《封印された南宋陶磁展》,小田急美術館,東京,1998年,編號16及17。據此圖錄,二例雖皆定為龍泉窰,然逐一比較,大相徑庭。其一(編號17)呈菱形,棱角尖銳,通體施藍綠釉,無開片,露胎處呈火石紅色,展龍泉窰之典型特徵。龍泉窰考古大家朱伯謙,於其專著中亦刊錄此例,參見《龍泉窰青瓷》,台北,1998年,圖版18。其二(編號16)則與本品相近,器形雅緻,胎骨深棕,青釉帶灰,密佈開片,實應更近郊壇下官窰器。郊壇下窰址亦出土一殘器,與本瓶類同,惟尺寸稍大,錄於《世界陶磁全集》,東京,1995年,卷10,頁191,圖版28c。

經考古發掘,郊壇下官窰遺址發現多處作坊以及一座長八十餘米之龍窰。出土器中,不乏此類胎薄色深且施釉肥厚之瓷器,與本品如出一轍。 依朱伯謙所言,惟經多層施釉,反覆窰燒,方成此類薄胎厚釉帶片紋之器。因其胎色深重,疊施青釉厚若堆脂,故而質潤如玉;參見朱伯謙,〈A Pearl among Greenwares: Guan Ware of the Southern Song〉,《東方陶瓷學會彙刊》,卷56,1991-1992年,頁29-30。

參見一相似之瓶,刊於 George J. Lee,《Selected Far Eastern Art in the Yale University Art Gallery》,紐黑文,1970年,圖版37。另見一例,售於香港蘇富比1992年10月27日,編號20。紐約蘇富比也曾拍出兩例,分別於1974年5月23-24日,編號325,以及1993年6月2日,編號294。Maxwell Vos 雅蓄舊有一近似之瓶,後售於倫敦蘇富比1973年3月13日,編號171。

東京國立博物館藏一相近之瓶,尺寸略大,見於《中國宋元美術展目錄》,東京,1961年,編號189。另可參考三例,其一出版於 Henry Trubner 及 William Jay Rathbun,《Asiatic Art in the Seattle Art Museum》,西雅圖,圖版191;其二屬 Richard Bryant Hobart 舊藏,後售於紐約蘇富比1969年5月23日,編號53;其三則售於香港蘇富比1973年11月16日,編號66。
