WANLI SIX-CHARACTER MARK WITHIN DOUBLE CIRCLES AND OF THE PERIOD (1573-1619)

細節

壺盤口，長頸，矮圓腹，圈足。腹部繪龍鳳戲珠紋，間以纏枝蓮紋。頸部飾松、竹、梅「歲寒三友」圖。曲流及把飾朵花紋。蓋平頂，花苞鈕。底青花雙圈內書「大明萬曆年製」楷書款。

本壺配合原蓋，非常難得。臺北故宮博物院收藏一件非常近似的例子，見1963年香港出版《故宮藏瓷．明青花瓷．六》，圖版4號。此器紋飾結合龍鳳與「歲寒三友」，亦只見於少數萬曆器，懷海堂收藏近似紋飾的青花蓋盒、青花罐各一例，載於2012年香港中文大學文物館出版《機暇明道—懷海堂藏明代中晚期官窰瓷器》，圖版108、117 號。

此器1945 年以85 英鎊購自倫敦Peter Boode Antiques。曾展出於倫敦東方陶瓷學會1953-54 年舉辦《Loan Exhibition
of Chinese Blue and White Porcelain 14th to 19th Centuries》展覽，圖錄編號176；1946 年舉辦《Ming Blue and White

The present ewer is very rare as it is preserved with its original cover, and is exceptional for its particular brilliant tone of the cobalt blue. There is only one other nearly identical example known, which is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei and illustrated in Blue-and-White Ware of the Ming Dynasty, Book VI, Hong Kong, 1963, pl. 4.

The combination of the dragon and phoenix motif, symbolic of imperial supremacy, with the 'Three Friends of Winter', symbolic of lofty literati ideals, on this ewer, is highly unusual. This intriguing juxtaposition is rarely seen on earlier ceramics and appears only on a few imperial wares from the Wanli period, such as a blue and white covered box and a blue and white jar in the Huaihaitang Collection and illustrated in Enlightening Elegance. Imperial Porcelain of the Mid to Late Ming, Hong Kong, 2012, pls. 108 and 117.
