拍品資料及來源
本品器形端莊，紋飾刻劃明快有致，施釉精雅，實乃定窰珍品。定器以薄胎細緻、淡雅白釉見稱，燒成後無需加施護胎土，僅透明牙白釉，而器形典麗，既取材同期銀器及漆器，亦有匠人巧思獨創，本品屬於後者，此般器形，流行於北宋及金（1115-1234年）代朝廷及寺院寶剎。由於定器胎薄，窰燒容易變形，故直徑多為22公分左右。 蓮花紋飾，秀雅雋永，刻工如當代水墨畫作般行雲流水，襯托典雅器形，甚為合宜。蓮出淤泥而不染，寓意純凈正直，儒家尚德行,故蓮紋流行於宋代。白釉素潔雅致，更彰顯蓮花高潔，故此定器多飾蓮紋。
比較一例，器型相近，現藏於故宮博物院，圖見《定瓷雅集：故宮博物院珍藏及出土定窰瓷器薈萃》，故宮博物院，北京，2012年，圖版64；另一例出自Alfred Schoenlicht收藏，售於倫敦蘇富比1955年12月13日，編號58，後易手於1971年12月14日，編號194；第四例售於香港蘇富比2000年5月2日，編號588，後易手於倫敦蘇富比2012年5月16日，編號88。
本品口沿處附精巧金屬邊稜，實屬當時風尚。宋《坦齋筆衡》云「本朝以定州白瓷，有芒不堪用，遂命汝州造青窰器」，學者時引用之，認為宮廷因定瓷澀口不施釉，是以棄定取汝。台北國立故宮博物院蔡玫芬於1996年紐約大都會藝術博物館研討會上，提出於瓷品上添加金屬邊稜乃當時宮廷貴冑品好，澀口正好可避免金稜滑脫之虞，因此「有芒」並非為採用覆燒技術而衍生之瑕疵。「稜釦習尚如此風行，然定窰瓷在北宋中期之前尚未行覆燒技術；是以金稜非因掩飾芒口而產生，相反的，芒口可能因稜釦習尚而生」。負責飾品、隸屬工部之「文思院」，以及承辦內宮品物之「後苑造作所」，下皆設有「稜作」，專門加綴金銀稜釦。蔡氏因此指「定州白瓷，有芒不堪用」之句，或並不反映宋廷對有芒定瓷之嫌厭，反之可能因定瓷巧飾稜釦，用於特定御典有欠妥適。全文見蔡玫芬，〈論「定州白瓷器，有芒不堪用」句的真確性及十二世紀官方瓷器之諸問題〉，《故宮學術季刊》，1997年，第2期，頁63-102。
