清代與吉慶裝飾題材的運用已臻化境,講究「圖必有意,意

必吉祥」,此瓶不論主題抑或輔助紋飾,均採用了兆寓福壽

如意的吉祥圖案,令人觀之即可領悟其中寄予的美好祝願。

整器色彩艷麗明快,繪製工麗精細,寓意吉祥,頗具乾隆一

朝制瓷之風。嘉慶一朝的製瓷工藝完全承襲了乾隆時期的

藝術風格,尤以早期最為突出。乾隆丙辰歸政後,改元為

嘉慶元年,但在清宮內務府的檔案中,仍有乾隆六十一年和

六十二年的時憲書,宮中檔案仍延用乾隆年號。可見雖已歸

正禪位,但乾隆身為太上皇的晚年生活仍然是整個國家權利

的最高主宰,其于歸政前夕所作御題詩《除夕》中有「此日

乾隆夕,明朝嘉慶年。古今難得者,天地錫恩然。父母敢言

謝,心神增益虔。近成老人說,雲十幸能全。」而身為「千

古第一全人」的乾隆皇帝,他希冀自己能夠擁有如宋高宗那

般父慈子孝的晚年太上皇生活,就如他自撰在樂壽堂門前的

對聯所書「樂在人和,肯寄高閒規宋殿。」而嘉慶帝也不負

所托,自即位始,日侍慈顏,稟受至教,凡事皆附和太上

皇,可謂事事周到。實乃名副其實的「總以孝奉為務」。故

而此一時期之御瓷也表現出迎合太上皇喜好,一派四海升

平,喜慶安樂的太平盛世。

On either side of the necks of these vases are upside-down bats.

The bats symbolize happiness, while the word for upside-down

in Chinese is a homophone for 'arrive'. The motif, therefore,

symbolises the arrival of happiness. In their mouths the bats each

hold the tip of a halberd. Further, a chiming stone is suspended

from the halberd, and in such combination the halberd provides a

rebus for auspicious happiness.

On either side of the large blossoms on the shoulders of the vases

are confronted archaistic blue kui dragons. They have flower stems

in their mouths and their heads turned back. The pair of handles

are also moulded in the form of archaistic kui dragons. This use of

archaistic dragon handles as well as the general form of the vases

is a continuation of forms popular amongst imperial porcelains of

the Qianlong reign.

清嘉慶 松石綠地粉彩吉慶有餘進寶圖雙螭耳大瓶

北京保利,2011年12月6日,編號5162

成交價 RMB 21,275,000

A green-ground famille rose 'tribute visit' vase

with chi-dragon handles, Jiaqing period

Sold at Poly Beijing, 6 December 2011, lot 5162

at RMB 21,275,000

據《嘉慶三年各作成做活計清檔》載,嘉慶三年發往江西燒

造的官窯瓷器,猶要求要「一半乾隆款,一半嘉慶款」。故

嘉慶初年乾隆在世時燒造的嘉慶御窯瓷器製作水準與乾隆盛

世無二,確有「乾嘉不分」的感覺,而其中粉彩琢器之精

者,甚至超過了乾隆晚期的一般作品。晚年的乾隆皇帝,把

持著朝政大權的同時,亦有「設誠六十年,八旬有五足。允

宜歸大政,余日享清福。」的想法。正因如此,嘉慶皇帝

面面俱到的孝思令太上皇聖意甚悅,父子關係日益融洽,對

嘉慶帝隆恩日濃,其於嘉慶三年元旦曾賦詩:「元之三更六

之三,嘉慶乾隆父子覃。訓政心仍書宵篤,承歡膝下凊溫

諳。」並於次年二月薨逝,是年為西曆1799。乾隆大帝九九

歸一,一生十全,晚年也如宋高宗一般父慈子孝,謚號亦為

「高宗」,可謂圓滿至極。然而其身後的江山已如江河日

下,頹勢難輓,曾經光輝的歲月即將謝幕,唯有此器仍存留

著彼時的繁盛余暉。

此瓶最初成對流傳,迪諾公爵 Alexandre Edmond de

Talleyrand-Perigord所珍藏,此後在家族傳承。此對瓶曾運

至迪諾公爵後人的婚禮現場,其中一只於婚禮現場打碎。本

品在2022年9月18日於法國Daguerre拍賣上釋出。然而此對

瓶的另外一件不幸受損毀,其碎片於同年12月拍出,雖是殘

片,仍以12萬歐元的高價成交。

The decoration of figures in landscape that encircles the main

body of the current vase is particularly remarkable. The figures

on the vase can be identified as western foreigners by their curly

red hair and clothing, although some of the clothing includes

Chinese elements. They are all tribute bearers, bringing precious

and auspicious gifts to the emperor. Western servants are shown

transporting a range of gifts either in two-wheeled carts or on

yokes carried across their shoulders. Their masters either ride in

two-wheeled carts or ride on a variety of extraordinary animals.

One rides a horse, but the others ride creatures such as a white

elephant, a tiger, a blue Buddhist lion, and a range of colourful

mythological animals including a qilin and a bixie.

Other foreign tribute bearers on the vases carry musical

instruments in silk cases, elaborate caskets, which probably

contain precious jewels, trays of peaches which symbolize

longevity. While the large and impressive vase would itself have

been valuable gift, its decoration additionally contains a range of

auspicious wishes and subtle compliments to the emperor.

The present vase was originally kept as a pair in the collection

of Alexandre Edmond de Talleyrand-Perigord, Duke of Dino, and

later passed down within the family. The present vase was sold

in Daguerre, France in 2022. The other twin of this vase was

unfortunately broken into shards. However, the shards remnants

still achieved an outstanding 120,000EUR at the same auction.

本品外壁繪圖如石紋狀自然有序,又似行雲流水般暢酣。紋

理空隙間見木紋流水之效果,宛若天成。縱觀今日公私收

藏,一致公認的唐窯自治筆筒,數量稀少,能流通者更甚,

而且品相多有瑕疵。自雍正六年始,唐英以內務府員外郎身

份駐節景德鎮,負責協助常駐淮安的督陶官年希堯處理窯

務,傳旨燒造的瓷器,均由年希堯家人持樣交景德鎮御廠燒

造辦理。御廠總理年希堯住淮安關署,每歲只春秋兩次去景

德鎮巡視窯廠;駐廠協理唐英親自辦理製造細事。此後,唐

英便與清代官窯督造事業結下伴隨終生的不解之緣。雍正六

年至乾隆二十年,在唐英長達二十八年的榷陶生涯當中,不

但為清宮燒造過許多精彩絕倫的曠世佳器,同時亦為自己之

需用而燒製出各類瓷器,後者簡稱為「唐窯私物」。

與唐英其他私物相比較,本品擁有它們不常有的特點,便是

其落款。唐英擅長使用閒章裝飾自治瓷器,以達點睛之妙,

而且前後使用數量豐富,多達數十種,但沒有專門規律,似

是信手拈來,其中「片月」與「翰墨」使用次數較多,「片

月」往往作為引首章,與「翰墨」印前後呼應。余例常見

為「陶鑄」、「陶榷」、「雋公」、「蝸寄居士」、「古柏

堂」等為主,偶見用「陶成居士」、「沐齋居士」,但例如

本品所用「雋公」搭配「翰墨」篆書陰文、陽文印例極為罕

見,可見一例,為上海博物館藏「唐英親製洋彩米芾賜硯圖

詩文筆筒」,主題紋樣是米芾、蘇東坡磨墨試硯的典故,空

白處題寫行書《東坡詩話》詩文「玉硯瑩然出尚方,九重親

賜米元章。不因啖吐珠璣力,安得瑤池到玉堂。」後署「瀋

陽唐英」四字與「翰墨」紅章,底書礬紅彩「乾隆年製」四

本件墨彩題詩筆筒呈直筒形,圈足,通體青白釉,施釉平

滑,釉質清透滋潤,筆筒外壁以墨彩行書題寫詩文《陋室

銘》等文言雅句,極富文人情懷。詩文書法流暢,筆法老

到,相得益彰。筆筒雖小,卻是古代文人案頭必備之物。自

晚明以後,瓷質文房用品逐漸進入文人視野,它與紙、筆、

墨、硯等一起成為他們珍賞的文房雅具。唐英在督陶之時,

曾親自設計製作了一批瓷質文房用具以自用,這批瓷質文房

兼備了唐英的文人巧思和高超製瓷技藝,成為了極具品位的

藝術珍品。唐英本人能文善書,行書尤其突出,上承魏晉、

漢、唐、宋之名家,行筆中自然巧妙地融入前人章法,從而

創造出自己的體勢,形成自己的風格。唐英親製墨彩詩文瓷

的文人氣質與傳世的稀少,傳世作品亦不過百件,分別收藏

於故宮博物院、上海博物館、國家博物館、首都博物館、天

津博物館等處。

文氣濃厚為唐英私物的最大特點,本品以詩寫景,詩景相

映,得文人畫之妙韻。其詩句出自宋代大儒程顥《遊月

陂》,全詩為:「月陂堤上四徘徊,北有中天百尺台。萬物

已隨秋氣改,一樽聊為晚涼開。水心雲影閒相照,林下泉聲

靜自來。世事無端何足計,但逢佳節約重陪。」本品所引

二句為傳世經典佳句,尤其「水心雲影閒相照」所寫秋水清

寒,澄澈如鑒,閒雲倒影映照其間,輕靈曼妙,令人悠然遐

思,以境寫心,恬淡空靈,觀之讓人心情超然。所展示之意

境為歷代文人所稱頌,唐英引之為裝飾並配以山居圖,以畫

闡意,彰顯出一份濃郁的文人氣息。

本品所具詩文書法,神采奕奕,行筆遒勁灑脫,與原中國文

物總店藏陶鑄款墨彩雲龍紋題句天球瓶,著錄於《中國古代

陶瓷藝術——明清彩瓷與顏色釉》,頁178,圖76,一致,為

唐窯最具個性的行書。

後鈐紅彩「陶」、「鑄」篆體聯珠印,為唐英標志性的信

物。「陶鑄」是唐英在瓷器上最常用的印章,屬於唐氏獨有

的字號,至於其產生之緣由未見唐英交代,唐英自稱「陶

人」,「鑄」字本義冶煉,於此延伸為燒造,故推知其義應

是陶人所造之意,是判別唐窯的基本依據之一,其「陶」

字寫法通常較固定,但「鑄」字時有變化,繁簡不一,若如

本品者,則屬於繁體。另外,唐英擅長使用閒章裝飾自治瓷

器,以達點睛之妙,而且前後使用數量豐富,多達數十種,

但沒有專門規律,似是信手拈來,其中「片月」與「翰墨」

使用次數較多,「片月」往往作為引首章,與「翰墨」印

前後呼應,但是它們只屬於裝飾性的閒章,不獨唐英一人使

用,同時期唐窯以外的瓷器亦見,「片月」更是在明末清初

之際屢屢出現於文人寫意類瓷器上,故不可憑此妄斷歸屬。

亦因為唐窯此番造器風格深得士人所喜愛,當時應不乏效仿

之例,並署寫相同之閒章,但不會使用唐窯之專用款名,故

流傳至今仍可見存在類似之作,今只能稱之為唐窯風格器

物。

The cup is inscribed on the reverse with a poem composed by the

celebrated superintendent of the imperial kilns in Jingdezhen, Tang

Ying (1682-1756). The inscription is written in xingshu or cursive

script and may be translated as follows:

In the depth of the water,

shadows of the clouds reflect each other.

The sound of the stream,

can be heard coming from beyond the village.

The cup belongs to a very small group of imperial porcelain which

is associated with Tang Ying, the influential superintendent of the

imperial kilns between 1726-1756, serving both the Yongzheng

and Qianlong Emperors. Considered to be the most innovative

and talented figure in China's porcelain industry during the Qing

dynasty, Tang Ying was also regarded as a competent potter,

painter, calligrapher and art connoisseur. His experience and

insight into the challenges of porcelain production allowed him to

make essential changes in the structure of the factory and brought

technical improvement and artistic innovation to the production,

made to highly exacting standards.

The seal reading pianyue or 'crescent moon' on the upper right

corner, followed by the poem, and the two iron-red seals reading

tao zhu at the end of the poem were pseudonyms used by

Tang Ying to sign his poetic inscriptions on porcelain; see Geng

Baochang, 'Tan Tang Ying kuan de ciqi ji qita (A discussion on Tang

Ying marked porcelain)', Jingdezhen taoci, Jingdezhen, 1982, no.2;

and a further discussion by P.Y.K.Lam, 'Tang Ying (1682-1756): The

Imperial Factory Superintendent at Jingdezhen', Transactions of

the Oriental Ceramic Society, vol.63, 1998-1999, p.65.

康、雍二帝都喜歡玻璃,康熙帝命日耳曼傳教士紀里安神父

指導創建蠶池口玻璃廠,該玻璃廠如其他御用作坊一樣,由

內務府造辦處管轄,負責製作、維修、保管皇家器物。內務

府為清代最大的政府機構,轄下造辦處的主要作坊最初設於

養心殿,1691年大部份遷到慈寧宮後,仍沿用舊稱「養心殿

造辦處」。雍正帝將蠶池口玻璃廠遷至圓明園六所,然而蠶

池口的玻璃廠並沒有停產,直至乾隆朝的1758年以後。乾

隆帝對玻璃器的雅興絕不減於康、雍二帝,他在圓明園玻璃

廠的原有基礎上新建窯爐,生產仿歐式玻璃番花和中國玻璃

器物。乾隆朝玻璃廠的生產從未間斷,每年生產週期穩定,

產品品種規範化,即使在乾隆帝駕崩後,歷經嘉、道、咸、

同、光、宣六帝,玻璃廠的生產從未停頓,直至清帝遜位方

告終結,這與養心殿造辦處其他各作生產時斷時續的情況完

全不同。可見玻璃工藝在皇家美術中的地位是不可忽視的。

乾隆朝玻璃的藝術風格與雍正朝接近,以精細為其特色,與

康熙朝玻璃之「渾樸簡古」風格已有很大不同。 學者推測乾

隆檔案記載的玻璃廠應為原來蠶池口的工廠,在那裡先完成

燒造及吹制玻璃的工序,到圓明園作坊再進行彩繪。圓明園

作坊是製作最精美玻璃器之所,亦受皇帝親自監督。

玻璃料胎畫琺瑯是由銅胎畫琺瑯發展而來,但比銅胎或瓷胎

琺瑯來說,技術要求極高,是宮廷作坊獨有的技術,而產品

非皇家不能擁有。宮廷畫家和設計師做好設計圖案後先要呈

交皇上批閱,待皇帝首肯後方能交內府琺瑯廠燒制。玻璃熔

點比琺瑯低,要將琺瑯裝飾熔貼在玻璃器表需要極豐富的經

驗和技巧。溫度太低,琺瑯紋飾無法熔貼,溫度過高,不但

玻璃熱熔,顏色也會燒焦,琺瑯還會有氣泡。要使得料胎琺

瑯器紋飾極盡精美,圖案精細,顏色自然淡雅,是無數經驗

累積的成果。

內廷玻璃廠自康熙朝成立至雍正末年的50年間是興盛期;乾

The present lot is unique in its form and decoration among the very

few enamelled glass wares produced in the Beijing workshops of

the Qianlong period. Compare a related example of the same size

with a lipped mouth rim, decorated with plum blossom branches

and bears a Guyuexuan mark, believed to be produced by a Beijing

private workshop dating to the 1750s-1850s, illustrated by Hugh

Moss, By Imperial Command, Introduction to Ch'ing Imperial

Painted Enamels, Hong Kong, 1976, pl. 42.

It appears that very few enamelled glasses were commissioned

and of these only 20 pieces remain in the Beijing Palace Museum

Collection. See Zhang Rong, 'Qing in the Imperial Workshops of

the Qing Court', Luster of Autumn Water Glass of Qing Imperial

Workshop, Beijing, 2005, pp. 19-20.

The portrayal of the chi dragons is closely related in design to

imperial carved glass water pots, such as the Qianlong-marked

example with a green overlay on blue ground in the Qing Court

Collection, illustrated by Zhang Rong, op. cit., p. 244, pl. 79. A

related Qianlong period example of this type of small water pot,

produced of carved crystal, was included in the Oriental Ceramic

Society of Hong Kong exhibition, Arts from the Scholar's Studio,

Fung Ping Shan Museum, University of Hong Kong, 1986, and

illustrated in the catalogue, no. 93.

This washer is modelled from buff-color clay in the shape of a

peach petal incised with veins on the exterior and borne on a

curved stem that also bears a pod at the rim and rests atop a

section of rhizome. The peaches are subtly speckled with red slip

while the stems are covered in greyish-brown slip. One side of the

peach is stamped in relief with seal script marks, Chen Mingyuan,

and incised with a poem in running script.

Chen Mingyuan was active during the Kangxi and Yongzheng

reigns (mid-17th to early 18th century) and is generally regarded

as one of the finest of all the Yixing potters. A Yixing water pot of

similar color and of double-peach form was sold at Christie’s New

清乾隆  仿古白玉饕餮紋方觚

AN ARCHAISTIC WHITE JADE 'TAOTIE' FANGGU-FORM VASE

QIANLONG PERIOD, 1736-1795

PROVENANCE

Tokyo-chuo, 5 September 2012, lot 126

H 21.8cm

The faceted vase is carved in the center of each side and on the

corners with notched flanges that center finely carved, elegant

stylized leaves on the neck and tall foot, and center and separate

taotie masks on the mid-section. The stone is of even color and has

a luminous semi-translucency.

The present vase follows the archaic bronze prototype, fanggu,

a type of wine vessel used in the rituals of the Shang and Zhou

dynasties. By the Qing period, archaic forms and motifs found

great popularity at court and a number of jade vessels, such as

the present example, were produced to reflect the fashion of the

period. This vase is further distinguished by its exceptional white

and even material, which is on a par with the finest examples

preserved in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The

Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Jadeware,

III, Hong Kong, 1995, nos. 130-134.

此白玉花觚,玉質潔白細膩,溫潤古樸。其上敞寬口,呈四

方式,由上至下凸起八道出戟,掏膛既深且勻,雕琢可謂鬼

斧神工。高浮雕紋飾將器物分為三個部份,中間凸起飾饕餮

紋。商周時期的觚是一種酒器,更是一種禮器,莊重而嚴

肅。此觚則將青銅器原有的莊重嚴肅變得溫和典雅,別有一

番風味。

乾隆盛仿古。他扶植了創新之舉,又提倡對經典的考據、器

物的仿古,乾隆朝仿古玉器便是在這種情況下發展起來的。

玉器主要仿制的是古代的青銅器,作品有鼎、豆、尊、簋、

英雄杯等多種多樣,其中一些作品還按照青銅器作品仿制了

銘文。青銅器收錄於宮廷著錄的《西清古鑒》等圖錄中。帶

有「仿古」款的作品,一般具有用料精良,加工細緻,設計

上追求造型與圖案的完美性的特點,仿古卻不同於古。此白

玉饕餮花紋觚,玉用料極為奢侈,寬口之大,屬獨一無二,

為宮廷之物。

The history of lacquerware in China can be traced back 8,000 years ago.1

The

latest archaeological excavations have shown that the black coating on two

wooden vessels unearthed at the Jingtoushan site in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province is

natural lacquer. These vessels produced 7,800-8,300 years ago are the earliest

lacquerware in China found so far. Along with traditional crafts such as pottery,

porcelain and jade, lacquerware is also a creation of the Chinese.

The first book dedicated to lacquerware in China was Qi Jing [The Book of

Lacquer] written by Zhu Zundu in the Five Dynasties but it has unfortunately

been lost. Xiushi Lu [A Treatise on Lacquer Art] is the best-preserved ancient

monograph on lacquerware, written by Huang Cheng, also known as Dacheng as

well as Huang Pingsha, a famous lacquer craftsman active during the Longqing

period (1567-1572) of the Ming dynasty. Later the book was annotated line by

line Yang Ming, a famous lacquer craftsman from Xietang, Jiaxing, in the fifth

year of Tianqi period (1625) of the Ming dynasty, who also wrote the preface.

Huang Cheng's Xiushi Lu is a comprehensive manual for lacquer manufacture.

It is divided into two volumes, named Qian and Kun, with eighteen chapters and

one hundred and eighty-six articles.

This book is a crucial piece of literature for contemporary readers to understand

the development, production techniques and varieties of lacquerware in

premodern China. It is particularly worth mentioning that Mr. Wang Shixiang,

a respected modern master, has spent his life's effort in annotating this book

as well and finally published Xiushi Lu Jieshuo [An Explanation to A Treatise on

Lacquer Art], explaining the obscure and challenging lines of the original texts

in layman's terms and citing 231 pieces of artifacts to illustrate the issues.

He also analyzed the contents of Xiushi Lu by combining his findings after his

many years of research. This not only demonstrates the historical value of the

original texts, but also made Xiushi Lu Jieshuo an important publication on

lacquer craftsmanship in the contemporary times. Xiushi Lu records that there

was already carved lacquer in the Tang Dynasty, stating that ‘carved cinnabar

means carving on the red lacquer. The levels of skill and clumsiness could be

determined by the thickness of the lacquer layers, the brightness of the red

colour, and the fineness and intricacy of details of the carving. The artworks in

the Tang dynasty were usually stamped from moulding plate and carved with

red diaper ground. Such carving technique is slightly crude but still admirable,

artwork decorated with yellow diaper ground is also available.’2

Carved lacquer is made by first covering layers of lacquer on wood or metal core

and then carving out the desired pattern through the thickly built-up layers of

lacquer to convey a sense of three-dimensionality and highlight the theme on a

relief. Carved lacquer is divided into several varieties such as carved cinnabar

lacquer, carved yellow lacquer, carved black lacquer, carved green lacquer, etc.

depending on the colour applied to the lacquer. Such technique has become the

main varieties of lacquerware since the Tang dynasty and the craft has developed

to reach its peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is worth noting that while the

current archaeological excavations have not yet found any carved lacquer from

the Tang dynasty, the texture of lacquer, form and motif of a small carved tixi

lacquer box decorated with cloud pattern donated by Mr. Lee Jingze, now in the

Shanghai Museum collection, shows features that correspond to a time prior to

the Tang dynasty.3

Unearthed and heirloom Song lacquerware include monochrome lacquer, giltdecorated lacquer, qiangjin lacquer and carved lacquer. Only carved cinnabar

lacquer, carved black lacquer and carved tixi lacquer are the three types of

carved lacquer to be known. An excavated fragment of carved cinnabar lacquer

from the collection of Wenzhou Museum in Zhejiang Province decorated with

fine floral pattern provides crucial information about the carved cinnabar lacquer

of the Song dynasty.4

Furthermore, Shanghai Museum also published a very

important carved cinnabar lacquer ‘double-chi-dragon lingzhi’ circular tray in the

Southern Song dynasty a year ago (fig.1).5

It was long believed that the carved

black lacquerwares of the Song dynasty are almost only found in Japan. For

example, the famous carved black lacquer ‘boys’ circular dish and carved black

‘hut of the drunken old Man’ circular dish.6

However, a Northern Song carved

black lacquer ‘peony’ mirror box found in China and later showcased by the

Zhejiang Provincial Museum 10 years ago proved otherwise.7

There were more

than a dozen of carved tixi lacquerware of the Southern Song dynasty unearthed

in different archaeological sites in China. These sites include Minqing and

Chayuan Mountain in Fuzhou, Shanxi Datong, Sichuan Pengshan, Zhangjiagang

器就是在器物上用不同顏色的漆,分層漆上去,

每層若干道,使各色都有一個相當的厚度,然後

用刀雕刻,剔彩的漆色一般有紅、黃、綠、紫、

黑等色,需要某種顏色時,便剔去在它以上的漆

The present lot, a dish that measures 17.9cm in diameter, is exquisitely carved

to the yellow ground through polychromatic layers of black, red, yellow, and

green lacquer depicting a writhing three-clawed chilong dragon holding a lingzhi

sprig in one hand amidst swirling waves. The powerful arch of the creature's

back is highlighted by the red lacquer revealed on either side of the spine and

belly through the meticulous polish, while the angular head is brought to visual

prominence in the same manner. The lacquer artist has fully utilised all the

colours to create a vibrant design where the black writhing dragon is contrasted

against a yellow ground. The yellow ground not only captivates whoever views the

dish, but also serves a pragmatic aid for the craftsman. The yellow lacquer draws

the lacquer artist’s attention and prevents preventing him from carving deeper

into the desired lacquer layer. The reverse side is elaborately decorated with

composite floral blossoms including chrysanthemum, camellia, lotus, peony, and

other seasonal flowers. The base is applied with black lacquer which has since

deteriorated only very slightly to form natural cracks. The dish was once exhibited

in the Nezu Institute of Fine Arts in Tokyo in 2004.10

Carved polychrome lacquer is a variety of carved lacquer. As mentioned in Ming

Huang Cheng's Xiushi Lu, ‘carved polychrome lacquer means carving through

multi-coloured lacquer. The colours of lacquer could be arranged in multiple

layers or patches in order to depict flowers in red, leaves in green, branches

in brown, clouds in multicolor, rocks in black, different forms of leiwen pattern,

etc.’ Further in Ming scholar Gao Lian’s (1573-1620) Zunsheng Bajian (Eight

Discourses on the Art of Living), the author mentioned that ‘by carving through

multi-coloured lacquer into different levels, the designated colour could be

revealed to depict red flowers, green leaves, yellow core, black stones, etc.

Objects made using these techniques are extremely appealing and little has

survived.’ Even with the amount of literature that records carved lacquer, it is still

difficult to exact the date the first piece of carved polychrome lacquer was made.

Before the current dragon dish was unveiled to the public, the earliest example

of carved polychrome lacquer was the large ‘birds’ box and cover with Xuande

mark in the Palace Museum, Beijing (fig.2). Many years ago, I stated in an article

that, since the Xuande box was so perfectly crafted, it is very possible that carved

polychrome lacquer could have existed before the Xuande period. Though the

current dragon dish from the Lee family is not unearthed from an archeological

site, it is still a crucial piece of evidence to support my previous claim.

Song carved lacquer is adored by scholars and craftsmen in the past. As

mentioned in Ming scholar Zhang Yingwen’s Qing Micang ‘Song carved cinnabar

lacquer is usually made with gold or silver core. The finely carved and polished

object is usually applied with bright cinnabar, and the lacquer layer is thick and

strong. The relief depicting landscapes, figures, birds, and animals is almost like

a painting on paper. Again, in Xiushi Lu, the author mentioned that ’the products

of Song and Yuan dynasties are well polished to present round and smooth

edges.’ In Qing scholar Xie Kun’s Jinyu Suosui, ‘Song people made carved lacquer

dish, box, and other objects by carving through three levels of lacquer layers to

depict the scene like a painting. Surprisingly there are lacquerwares made with

gold core which should be imperial.’ A carved cinnabar lacquer ‘osmanthus’ box

and cover of the Song dynasty was recorded in Ming scholar Chen Jiru’s Nigu Lu.

The current dish is no doubt a unique piece, but its shape also appears on Ding

and Jun wares of the same period. Some of the finest Song ceramics where

the chi dragon is often depicted is produced in the Ding kilns. A Ding chilong

dish (fig.3) in the Palace Museum, Beijing, is highly comparable to the carved

cinnabar chilong dish in the Shanghai Museum collection (fig.1). Three carved

black lacquer boxes from overseas museum collections similarly decorated with

chilong have been published, but the colours on these boxes are somewhat

more muted. One of these examples is in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco

(fig.4). Two dragons depicted on the cover are shown amongst scrolling clouds,

and one of the dragons holds a three-headed lingzhi fungus in its mouth. The

manner in which these dragons are portrayed in is very similar to that of the chi

dragons on jade carving of the Song dynasty.11 Another box is in the Hayashibara

Art Museum in Okayama.12 This example is of a slightly different style to the

others in the group and is executed in black and red lacquer with the design

appearing in black against a red ground. Both dragons on the cover of this box

carry lingzhi fungi in their mouths. The sides of this box are decorated with a

band of clouds. A third box is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,

New York, originally from the Florence and Herbert Irving Collection.13 Again, both

dragons carry lingzhi in their mouths and appear amongst scrolling clouds on a

126

dark red ground. Clouds also adorn the sides of both the box and the cover. The

pattern on these three boxes is decorated continuously across the top and the

sides, without being separated by any medallion or side pattern. This feature was

articulated by Mr. Lee Jingze. These features commended them as ideal motifs

for the decorative arts, and, as can be seen on the current dish.

宋  剔彩靈芝雲龍紋折沿盤

AN EXTREMELY RARE AND IMPORTANT CARVED POLYCHROME LACQUER 'DRAGON' DISH

SONG DYNASTY, 960-1279

此件宋代剔彩雲龍靈芝紋折沿盤平底,折沿,矮圈足。以

紅、黑、綠、黃四色剔刻。盤心黑面雕回首螭龍紋,雙眼圓

瞪,毛髮飛揚,肢體捲曲,手握靈芝騰躍於雲海之中,靈芝

花葉隨雲紋飄蕩。盤外壁雕菊花、茶花、荷花、牡丹等四季

花卉。底髹黑漆,有牛毛斷紋。此器曾於2004年展覽於日本

東京根津美術館《宋元の美—伝來 の漆器を中心に》,展覽

目錄114號。

此宋代剔彩螭龍紋折沿盤當為一例孤品,品相絕佳,應是宋

代剔彩工藝的巔峰之作。漆匠充份利用各色彩漆,雕成一條

黑色螭龍,龍身靈動,自然翻轉,朱黑二色隨身影顯色,層

次分明,渾然天成。螭龍遊戲在波濤洶湧雲海之中,隨剔刻

顯現朱黑綠三色,畫面氣韻生動。剔彩最下一層以黃色為底

色,在剔刻時遇黃色層則止,黃色既是裝飾色也是提示色,

這是宋代漆器特有的表現形式。

此盤造型在宋代定窯、鈞窯中常見,是宋代器物中規格較

高,器型雅致的代表。盤心紋飾在宋代定窯中也有相似者。

台北故宮博物院曾出版有《定州花瓷》,封面作品金定窯印

花螭舞石榴碟,所繪紋飾及佈局與本器相似。

而以剔彩裝飾雲龍紋在宋代漆器中也有見到數例,多以香盒

為主,其中一例為舊金山亞洲美術館藏(見1987年台北故宮

雙龍皆口銜靈芝,盒壁雕飾雲紋一道。 第三例源自艾爾凡伉

謝堃《金玉瑣碎》:「宋人有雕漆盤盒等物,刀入三層,書

畫極工,競有黃金為胎者,蓋大內物也。」,介於此誤傳,

後人多將宋漆毀之以尋其金胎,導致中國傳世漆器少見,內

地公私博物館亦不多見,僅見有出玉器。目前傳世宋漆多出

現於日本,是早年交流或贈送的結果。此件折沿盤原為日本

李汝寬家族收藏,後作為封面作品出現於李氏家族重要漆器

珍藏 (III)專拍。此折沿盤造型較香盒尺寸較大,紋飾佈局更

為精妙,紋飾剔刻精湛,可視為高浮雕,更加生動。傳世至

今,歷經數百年,品相依然完美,令人愛不釋手。

Chi dragons have long been regarded as auspicious creatures.

They often carry a spray of lingzhi either in their mouths or in their

claws which links them with a wish for long life.

Three boxes of this type have been published but they are usually

decorated in less colourful tone. The tops of all three boxes

are decorated with two chi dragons, one ascending and one

descending. One of these boxes is in the Asian Art Museum of

San Francisco, illustrated in Chinese Art in Overseas Collections:

Lacquerware, Taipei, 1987, p. 28.

Another box is in the Hayashibara Art Museum in Okayama,

illustrated in The Colours and Forms of Song and Yuan China,

Tokyo, 2004, no. 85, where it is dated to the Southern Song

dynasty. This example is of a slightly different style to the others

in the group and is executed with the design appearing in black

against a red ground. Both dragons on the lid of this box carry

lingzhi fungi in their mouths.

A third box is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,

New York. This box from the Florence and Herbert Irving Collection,

is illustrated by James C.Y. Watt and Barbara Brennan Ford in East

Asian Lacquer, New York, 1991, pp. 62-3, no. 16.

One side of this ruyi scepture is entirely covered with glass insets

depicting clear blossoms on ruby-red ground, with a border of

emerald-green stones along the edge. The large lobed head was

originally set with a clock at the center which was lost and is now

covered with a white jade chi-dragon carving. The gilt-bronze

underside is cast with the four-character Qianlong mark and with

incised decorations of auspicious flowers and the Eight Buddhist

emblems, bajixiang, amidst scrolling foliage.

The present scepter is a dazzling testament to the skill of the

Chinese craftsmen during the Qianlong period. Two very similar

scepters have been sold in our rooms in Beijing, 7 July 2011, lot

9552 and another in Christie’s Hong Kong, 27 November 2007,

lot 1672.

One translation of the Chinese term ruyi is \"as you wish\", and

scepters in this shape were often given as gifts because of the

good wishes they implied. Although they may have had certain

ritual functions in some ceremonies, scepters frequently appeared

in displays, either placed on stands or in vases and brush pots

alongside other functional and exotic goods in the palace.
