大清乾隆 铜胎剔红深山访友图 长方盖盒
参考:故宫博物院【剔红婴戏图长方盒】
剔红婴戏图长方盒,明中期,高8.2厘米,长14.4厘米,宽11.4厘米。
盒通体髹红漆,盖面描绘三个小童在曲栏庭园中玩耍,盖壁及盒身雕缠枝花卉纹,皆以龟背锦纹为地。盒内附一屉。外底和盒内髹黑漆。无款。此盒的雕法圆熟,但花叶的翻折处理同永乐剔红相比则不可同日而语;龟背锦纹似乎也比永乐朝放大许多。据此二点分析,我们认为这件长方盒的年代应属明中叶。
以婴戏为题材的绘画大约在唐代已经趋于成熟。明以后此类绘画皇室尤其爱赏。清代的朱彝尊提到前朝瓷器时说,“百子图者、龙纹五彩者,皆昔日皇居帝室之所尚也”。此外,婴戏图也还有祈福求子的意义。

While the rounded circular form is well-known among carved boxes of the Yongle period, it is very rare to find an example carved with a figural scene. A Yongle box of comparable size and form but carved with lychees rather than the figures found on the present box, is in the Beijing Palace Museum Collection, illustrated in Lacquer Wares of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Commercial Press, Hong Kong, 2006, p. 74, no. 52. Yongle circular boxes and covers of varying sizes with straight sides and figural scenes depicted on the flat cover appear to be common and an example in the National Palace Museum was included in the exhibition Carving the Subtle Radiance of Colors, Treasured Lacquerware in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 2007, illustrated in the Catalogue, p. 48, no. 28. Compare also a larger box carved with similar theme of a scholar admiring distant mountains, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Carved Lacquer in the Collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, 1985, no. 65, dated to the early Yongle period; and a box included in the exhibition, 2000 Years of Chinese Lacquer, The Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong, 1993, and illustrated in the Catalogue, p. 88, no. 40.

The complex design of rope-twists appears to be an innovative decorative motif typical of the mid-Qing period. Compare with a circular box in the Beijing Palace Museum Collection, illustrated by Chen Lihua (ed.), Carved Lacquerware, Forbidden City Publishing House, 2008, p. 256, no. 175 (see fig. 1).

Rectangular vessels are especially rare in tixi or guri lacquer, however several have been found in excavations. A rectangular red lacquer box (20 x 11.8 x 6 cm.) dated to the Yuan dynasty is now in the Metropolitan Museum, illustrated by J. Watt and B. Ford, East Asian Lacquer: The Florence and Herbert Irving Collection, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1992, p. 49-50, no. 6. This box shares with the current example the design element of ruyi motifs which wrap around the corners of the form. This risky style of decoration required great skill and confidence, and was abandoned by later decorators, as can be seen on the Ming rectangular box in the Metropolitan Museum, illustrated ibid., p. 61, no. 15, which has a design element on either side of each corner, but leaves the corner edge plain. A rectangular black tixi lacquer box of slightly different dimensions (13.4 x 11.1 x 8.5 cm.) and with a different arrangement of scrolls, dated to the early Ming dynasty was exhibited in Osaka in 1991, illustrated by Hirano Kotoken, Chinese Lacquer Works, Osaka, pp. 74-5, no. 48.
