说明：金银器在历史文物中占有重要位置，是中国传统文化艺术的重要载体。金银制品在商代即已出现，春秋战国时代已有金银镶嵌工艺。金银器皿出现较晚，汉以前少见，至唐代由于波斯的影响，有了极大发展。明清以来，金银器多以唐代为本制作。此件银碗口沿外侈，碗身饱满，圈足外撇，碗身以精细的线条錾刻出缠枝花卉，中间有麒麟、鸾凤、天马、锦鸡等祥瑞，足部为祥云纹带，底部亦满工刻花卉飞鸟，通体辅以珍珠纹为地。碗心繁花居中，足底一圈有联珠纹。所有花卉处皆鎏金装饰，形成黄白对比的效果，工艺繁复，精美绝伦。

Cups of this oblong, quatrefoil shape appear to be rare. One raised on a higher foot, in the Pierre Uldry Collection, is illustrated in Chinesisches Gold und Silber, Zurich, 1994, p. 152, pl. 138. A larger (11.7 cm. long) quadrilobed bowl with rounded sides, rather than barbed petal lobes, decorated on the exterior with foliate scroll on a ring-punched ground, but raised on a low, quadrilobed foot, in The Frederick M. Mayer Collection of Chinese Art, was sold at Christie’s London, 24-25 June 1974, lot 167. A plain beaten silver quadrilobed bowl with straight, flared sides, its lobes formed by indentations, in the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Rafi Y. Mottahedeh, is illustrated by Dr. Paul Singer, Early Chinese Gold & Silver, China Institute in America, New York, 1971, p. 58, no. 78, where it is dated Tang.

Bowls of lobed oblong shape are more often found with eight lobes, and of larger size, such as the example in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, The Avery Brundage Collection, illustrated by Clarence W. Kelley, Tang Dynasty, Chinese Gold & Silver in American Collections, The Dayton Art Institute, Dayton, Ohio, 1984, p. 65, no. 31. Another with eight lobes (15.2 cm. long) is illustrated in Sui to no bijutsu, Osaka Municipal Art Museum, 1976, no. 2-16. The origins of these lobed, oval bowls appear to be Sassanian, as evidenced by the parcel-gilt silver, lobed elliptical bowl raised on a slightly flared, oval foot ring, dated 6th century, illustrated by Ann C. Gunter and Paul Jett, Ancient Iranian Metalwork in the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery and the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., 1992, p. 182, pl. 31.

北宋 耀州窑柿红釉葵口碗

北宋 耀州窑柿红釉葵口碗

耀州窑 通过提高釉的品质来达到类似于漆器的效果。这类瓷器在耀州窑中被叫做“红耀州”。

“红耀州”也叫柿红釉，它的釉色顾名思义，如同柿子一般红彤彤的，这类瓷器和定窑的紫定一样，在当时也算是耀州窑的一个比较高级的产品了。自耀州窑窑址挖掘出来，除了同时期的橄榄绿色的青釉瓷片，就是这类红釉瓷片数量最多，连黑釉瓷片都没有它多，从这生产数量上看就能得知它们在当时是多么的受欢迎。

近年来“红耀州”凭借精巧的造型和如漆似的釉色，成为众藏家心中那一枚朱砂痣，在拍卖场上屡受欢迎。2016年香港佳士得拍出一件耀州窑柿红釉的斗笠碗拍出了25万港币。去年香港苏富比春拍以37.5万港币的价格拍出了一只红耀州斗笠盏。去年保利春拍“十面灵山居”专场的一件耀州窑柿红釉梅瓶，更是拍出了240万的高价，刷新了“红耀州”的拍卖纪录。

拍品資料及來源
It is rare to find silver bowls of this six-lobed form and even rarer are those with a rim fashioned to resemble the natural undulations of a lotus leaf. No other similar example appears to be recorded, although the wavy form is reminiscent of the famous poly-lobed silver bowl, excavated in 1970 from Prince Bin’s treasure hoard at Hejiacun, Shaanxi prvince, illustrated in Han Wei and Christian Deydier, Ancient Chinese Gold, Paris, 2001, pls. 560-561. A silver cover in the form of an inverted lotus leaf, with the edge of the leaf curled up in a wave-like manner, excavated at Dingmaoqiao, Jiangsu province in 1982, is also related in shape to this bowl. This cover can be found in many publications including Tangdai jinyin qi, Beijing, 1985, pl. 229. Further examples of religious objects adorned with lotus petals and with lotus-leaf covers are recorded; for example, see a silver salt holder excavated in 1987 from the Famen Monastery Pagoda at Fufeng county, Shaanxi province, included in Han and Deydier, op.cit., pl. 633; a pair of silver water bowls in the form of lotuses with the foot in the form of large lotus leaves, also from the treasures found in the underground crypt of the Famen Monastery Pagoda, is illustrated ibid., pl. 669.

Mythical figures such as the animal-headed spirit on this bowl are rare on Tang secular silverwork which tends to be decorated with more worldly scenes of daily life such as hunting or performances of music and dancing. The fabulous creature in the centre of the base is closely related to a design of mythical creatures among floral scrolls found on another very fine bowl in the Pierre Uldry Collection and formerly the Frederick M. Mayer Collection, included in the exhibition Chinesisches Gold und Silber, Museum Rietberg, Zurich, 1994, cat. no.143. However, the style of the chased decoration on a ground of ring matting, seen on this vessel, is comparable with the decoration found on a silver bowl, also from the Hejiacun excavation, published ibid., pl. 537.

Elongated lobed cups of this type with chased decoration are shaped after Sassanian gold and silver prototypes. See Jessica Rawson, ‘Chinese Silver and its Western Origins’, Connoisseur, September 1977, p. 37, where a Tang lobed cup in the British Museum is illustrated, pl. 1, together with a Sassanian type parcel-gilt silver cup with repousse decoration of dancing ladies, stags and grapevine pattern, from the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, pl. 2.

A related cup, from the Eumorfopoulos collection and now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, was included in the exhibition The Arts of the T’ang Dynasty, Los Angeles County Museum, 1957, cat.no. 339; and another, on loan at the Virginia Museum and University Museum, Philadelphia, was sold in our New York rooms, 4th June 1986, lot 242.

Three silver cups of this unusual lobed shape are illustrated by Ryoichi Hayashi in The Silk Road and the Shoso-in, New York/Tokyo, 1975, figs. 77, 78 and 96, only one of which, in the Hakutsuru Art Museum, is dated Tang dynasty, eighth century, which has parcel-gilt decoration on a ring-punched ground and has a lobed foot. The other two are described as Sassanian, fig. 77, dated sixth or seventh century, in the Idemitsu Art Gallery, which has a waisted rectangular foot, and fig. 96, dated sixth century, in the Tenri Museum, Nara, which has an oblong foot. Neither of these has a ring-punched ground, a Tang decorative technique that differentiates the background. Also illustrated, fig. 94, is a gilded-bronze cup dated eighth century in the Shoso-in, which is raised on a lobed foot, and is most likely Tang. The same shape can also be seen in a green glass cup in the Shoso-in, fig. 78. The author infers, p. 90, that this shape is most likely Sassanian in origin

It is rare to find Tang silver bowls of this simple yet elegant form decorated with an overall chased design as seen on the present vessel. The design pattern is expertly placed and superbly executed, a testament to the very fine workmanship of the Tang silversmith. Vessels of this exquisite quality and rich decorative motif were made for imperial use at the many banquets held by the Tang court. For further information on the use of silver and gold utensils used at banquets see Han Wei, ‘Gold and Silver Vessels of the Tang Period’, Orientations, July 1994, pp. 31-35.

Lot Essay
Silver stem cups of this elegant, lobed shape, where the lobes continue up to a slightly everted edge, are very rare. A very similar stem cup from the collection of Martin Mansson was sold at Christie’s London, 10 May 2011, lot 178. The Mansson cup was referenced by Gyllensvärd in his various catalogues of the Kempe Collection as a comparable of the present cup. Another cup of this shape, decorated with hunting motifs, dated to the 8th century, is in the Hakutsuru Art Museum and illustrated by Ryoichi Hayashi, The Silk Road and the Shoso-in, New York/Tokyo, 1975, p. 86, pl. 88.

This superbly engraved stem cup exemplifies the refinement of Tang dynasty metalwork. A cup of this form decorated with scrolling vines and grape leaves was unearthed from the reliquary chamber of the pagoda at the Qingshan Temple in Lindongxian, Shaanxi province. The construction of the temple was begun in 736, and in 740 the reliquary was placed in the subterranean chamber of the pagoda along with other objects of gold, silver, bronze and ceramic.

Other cups of this shape with varying foliate scroll decoration are in private and public collections, including one illustrated by B. Gyllensvard, Chinese Gold & Silver in the Carl Kempe Collection, Stockholm, 1953, no. 102; one illustrated in Ancient Chinese Arts in the Idemitsu Collection, Tokyo, 1989, no. 320; one in the collection of Senator Hugh Scott, illustrated in the Golden Age of Chinese Art, 1970, no. 18; one in the collection of Ostasiatische Kunstabteilung, Berlin, included in the Exhibition of Chinese Art, Berlin, 12 January – 2 April 1929, no. 438; and another from the Erwin Harris Collection, sold at Christie’s New York, 16 March 2017, lot 876 (part).

The goblet shape of this stem cup appears to be very rare. Another cup of this shape with similar decoration in the Yamato Bunkakan, Nara, Japan, is illustrated by Qi Dongfang, Tangdai jin yin qi yan jiu (Research on Tang gold and silver), Beijing, 1999, pl. 2, and again in a line drawing, p. 41, fig. 1-54. The flowers and leaves appear similar to those on the present cup, and one can see in pl. 2 that there are birds in flight amidst the scrolling vine, however they are chased or engraved and not ring-punched as they are on the present cup.

Estimate ：暂无估价
Size：高11cm；口径21cm；重821.8g

Description
银戳：
款识“黄球记”为广州著名银楼黄球记公司

说明:
此碗以中国著名的珐琅工艺装饰。葵花形口，碗腹部六瓣花瓣分别饰梅花喜鹊、菊花、兰花、牡丹、水仙、竹叶纹饰，填入的珐琅彩料鲜艳夺目。圈足外撇。梅象征高洁，兰花象征贤达，竹象征谦谦君子，菊象征自由。“喜上梅梢”寓意吉祥美好。此碗做工细致，保存完好，十分难得。“黄球记”是清末、民国时期广州著名的外销银器制作商，其产品珐琅大银碗在2009年以5万美元的价格创造了当年中国外销银器的拍卖纪录，由此人们也逐渐认识到中国外销银器的价值。“黄球记”制作的银器材质精良、工艺精美，在艺术品拍卖会上，只要出现“黄球记”制作的外销银器，立刻会成为藏家争相竞标的焦点。珐琅器是以珐琅为材料装饰而成的器物。珐琅又称“佛郎”“法蓝”，依据加工工艺的不同，可分为掐丝珐琅器、錾胎珐琅器、画珐琅器和透明珐琅器等品种。珐琅工艺起源于阿拉伯国家，于元代传入我国，到14世纪末珐琅技艺日趋成熟，15世纪中期明代景泰年间的制品尤为著名，故有景泰蓝之称。珐琅采用石英、长石、硝石和碳酸钠等加上铅和锡的氧化物涂在铜质或银质器物上烧制形成，形成不同颜色的油脂表面，既可防锈，又可装饰。珐琅银器属于银胎珐琅器，色彩绚丽，具有宝石般的光泽和质感，可历经千年而光泽不变，艺术水平极高，被誉为“世界上最奢侈的艺术品”。存世极少，弥足珍贵。
