明正德  青花穿花龍紋盤  雙圈四字楷書款

ZHENGDE FOUR-CHARACTER MARK WITHIN DOUBLE CIRCLES AND OF THE PERIOD (1506-1521)

細節
盤敞口,淺弧腹,圈足。盤心雙圈內繪游龍穿蓮紋,內壁繪二行龍戲於纏枝蓮間。外壁紋飾與內壁相若,近底處環飾如意雲頭。底青花雙圈內書「正德年製」楷書款。

青花穿花龍紋源自永樂官瓷,以正德朝最為流行,寓江山萬代、延綿不斷之意。至清代仍為御賞珍品之一,例如雍正六年(1728)御製《古玩圖》中亦列出近似的青花盤。北京故宮博物院收藏一件稍小的例子,載於2000年香港出版故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集《青花釉裏紅.中》,圖版63號。另有其他例子收藏於上海博物館、天民樓、東京繭山龍泉堂、大英博物館。穿花龍紋盤應有二款構圖,一款如本盤,內壁行龍位於盤心龍紋左右;另一款為行龍位於盤心龍紋上下,如大英博物館獲贈艾惕思舊藏,載於2001 年倫敦出版Jessica Harrison-Hall 著《Ming Ceramics in the British Museum》,編號8:16。

The design of five-clawed dragons amidst dense lotus scrolls is one of the most prevalent motifs seen on Zhengde porcelain. Its imperial provenance is further substantiated by the inclusion of a dish of this design on the sixth scroll of the imperial collection of the Yongzheng Emperor, the Guwan Tu, Scroll of Antiquities, dated to the sixth year of his reign (1728), from the Percival David Collection and now housed in the British Museum.

A Zhengde dish of similar design but slightly smaller in size in the Palace Museum, Beijing is illustrated in Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red (II), The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2000, p. 68, pl. 63. Other similar Zhengde-marked dishes include one in the Shanghai Museum, published in Wang Qingzheng, Underglaze Blue and Red, Hong Kong, 1993, pl. 116; one in the Tianminlou Collection, illustrated in Blue & White Porcelain from the Collection of Tianminlou Foundation, Shanghai, 1996, no. 56; one illustrated in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, vol. 1, Tokyo, 1976, no. 807; and one in the British Museum, illustrated by Jessica Harrison-Hall in Ming Ceramics in the British Museum, London, 2001, no. 8:15.

It appears that there are at least two variations to this design on this group of Zhengde dishes. The first type, like the current example, is depicted on the cavetto with two dragons on the left and right sides of the central leaping dragon; the second type is slightly varied with either dragon on top and below the dragon in the centre, such as the example bequeathed by Sir John Addis to the British Museum and illustrated ibid., no. 8:16.
