黃地綠彩歲寒三友盌  六字楷書款

細節
明嘉靖  黃地綠彩歲寒三友盌  六字楷書款

盌撇口,深弧腹,圈足。通體施黃秞為地,於秞下錐拱紋飾。盌心飾團龍紋。外壁飾松、竹、梅歲寒三友,間以靈芝紋。松樹幹盤「壽」字,竹樹幹盤「福」字,梅樹幹盤「祿」字。底飾白秞,青花書「大明嘉靖年製」楷書款。

以吉祥圖案為主題是嘉靖朝藝術品創作的特色。如此器般以樹幹盤繞成「福」、「祿」、「壽」字作為裝飾,這與嘉靖皇帝崇信道教有密切關係,可能就是道教所說祥瑞降世在瓷器的體現。

此器器形碩大,紋飾吉祥,傳世品中不為多見。惟兩件可作比較,盌心均飾團花紋,外壁飾人物。一藏臺北國立故宮博物院,見1966年香港出版故宮藏瓷《明彩瓷.二》圖版七號;另一件原為Kempe舊藏,2008年6月12日於巴黎蘇富比拍賣,拍品14號。

The present bowl belongs to a very small group of similarly decorated examples with incised decorations that have been enamelled against a different coloured enamel ground. The motifs are cleverly designed on the bowl and effectively conveys multiple meanings to auspicious imagaries. In this instance, whilst the bamboo itself is commonly associated with the virtuous gentleman, it is twisted to form the character Fu or 'Happiness' or 'Blessings'. The flowering prunus - a symbol of spring as it blooms in March - is formed into the character, Lu, or 'Emolument' or 'Wealth'; and finally the pine, a symbol of longevity, is rendered in its written, Shou, form. Furthermore, the combination of the pine, bamboo and prunus forms the "Three Friends of Winter".

Compare with two comparable Jiajing-marked bowls, both incised with figures in landscape on the exterior and interior with floral scrolls: the first illustrated in Enamelled Ware of The Ming Dynasty, Book II, Porcelain of the National Palace Museum, CAFA, 1966, pp. 60-61, pls 7 & 7a; and the other from the Kempe Collection was sold at Sotheby's Paris, 12 June 2008, lot 4. Also compare related smaller bowl with straight rather than everted mouthrims, as with the present and bowls cited above, from the George de Menasce Collection, included in the exhibition, Chinese Art, Venice, 1954, and illustrated in the Catalogue, no. 715, incised with dragon and phoenix.
