A FINE AND VERY RARE BLUE AND WHITE DOUBLE-GOURD VASE
THE PROPERTY OF A CHINESE GENTLEMAN
A FINE AND VERY RARE BLUE AND WHITE DOUBLE-GOURD VASE

QIANLONG SIX-CHARACTER SEALMARK AND OF THE PERIOD (1736-1795)

細節
清乾隆 青花纏枝蓮綬帶耳如意尊 六字篆書款

蒜頭形口,束頸,頸凸起弦紋,圓腹,圈足;因肩、腹所蝕對稱綬帶耳形似如意,故稱「如意尊」。通體繪青花纏枝蓮紋,輔以如意雲頭、卷草紋蓮瓣紋等邊
飾。底青花書「大清乾隆年製」篆書款。

此器承前朝之遺風,造型高雅雋美,青花呈色艷麗,釉色瑩潤,紋飾線條流暢,充分展示了清代許之衡在《飲流齋說瓷》中所形容:「至乾隆,精巧之至,幾於鬼斧神工」。傳世品中乾隆朝如意尊如鳳毛麟角,甚為珍罕。一件乾隆粉彩花蝶紋綬帶耳如意尊2003年10月27日於香港佳士得拍賣(拍品658號),並創下了當時的世界拍賣記錄。

如意尊是雍正朝創新之器形。《飲流齋說瓷》之「說瓶罐第七」中記載道:「如意尊,如意尊高約六七寸,上殺下豐口巨軀短,清初多作青花若純色釉及暗花者亦為雅製。」傳世品中之如意尊多出自雍正官窰,品種有青花、青花釉裡紅(南京博物館藏)、仿哥釉(張宗憲藏)、鬥彩、粉青釉(北京故宮博物院藏)等,紋飾有如此器的纏枝蓮花、花果紋(國立故宮博物院藏)、寶相花紋等。其造型相同,尺寸有約23和26公分兩種。

此器原為香港著名收藏家趙從衍先生之舊藏,並著錄於1978年香港藝術館出版《趙從衍基金會藏明清陶瓷》一書,圖版88號。1987年5月19日於香港蘇富比「趙從衍私人珍藏」專拍中拍出,拍品274號。

拍品專文

Only one other Qianlong-marked blue and white vase of this form and decoration appears to be known, and was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 3 May 1994, lot 174. Earlier Yongzheng-marked vases of this same shape but with different decorations are published, the first in the National Palace Museum Collection, Taipei, included in the Porcelain in the National Palace Museum, Blue-and-White Ware of the Ch'ing Dynasty, Book I, 1968, pl. 5; and the other is illustrated by D. Macintosh, Chinese Blue and White Porcelain, pl. 56, and was sold at Christie's Hong Kong 29 April, 2001, lot 559.

This interesting double-gourd shape also appears in monochromes of the Qianlong period, cf. the Ge-type glaze flask included in the Exhibition of Important Chinese Ceramics from the Robert Chang Collection, Christie's London, 1991, illustrated in the Catalogue, no. 61.
