拍品資料及來源
本瓶施青白釉,上灑銅紅艷斑,耀眼奪目。此類釉裏紅瓶,創製於元朝景德鎮,J.M. Addis 於《Chinese Porcelain from the Addis Collection. Twenty-two Pieces of Chingtechen Porcelain Presented to the British Museum》中論述元朝創燒氧化銅料,然難於控制,初或加施於刻劃紋飾之上,冀成紅地白花之帶飾,然而本品大片紅彩斑紋,製作年間或更早(倫敦,1979年,頁9-10)。
可比較一玉壺春瓶,同飾紅斑,圖見陳永志編,《內蒙古集寧路古城遺址出土瓷器》,北京,2004年,圖版41。東方陶瓷學會亦曾展一例,《江西景德鎭元瓷的演變》,倫敦,1984年,編號146。長青館珍藏還有一例,曾售於香港蘇富比1981年5月20日,編號652,後展於《形秀色麗四代珍》,大維德藝術基金會,倫敦,1992年,編號17。
相類灑釉裏紅器,還可參考倫敦大英博物館 H.J. Oppenheim 舊藏盃,錄於 R.L. Hobson,《Chinese Ceramics from Private Collections》,倫敦,1931年,圖版90。且見1980年江西省高安出土高足轉盃,盃外綴螭龍,並灑紅作飾,圖見劉良佑,《中國歷代陶瓷鑑賞》,卷3,台北,1992年,頁177右下。華盛頓史密森尼學院弗利爾美術館另藏一高足盃殘片,器內印花,展於《Blue and White. Chinese Porcelain and Its Impact on the Western World》,斯馬特美術館,芝加哥大學,芝加哥,1965年,編號11e。

Catalogue Note
Striking for the bold splashes of copper against a pale glaze, vases of this type were made at Jingdezhen during the Yuan dynasty when potters began experimenting with copper pigments on qingbai-type glazes. J.M. Addis in Chinese Porcelain from the Addis Collection. Twenty-two Pieces of Chingtechen Porcelain Presented to the British Museum, London, 1979, pp. 9-10, discusses the experimental techniques of the Yuan dynasty and suggests that the earliest use of copper-oxide, difficult to control due to its unstable nature, was probably as a broad band forming the background for an incised design. It is however possible that the large splashes on this piece predate the use of underglaze red as a colour ground.
A yuhuchunping with similar splashes is illustrated in Chen Yongzhi, Porcelain Unearthed from Jininglu Ancient City Site in Inner Mongolia, Beijing, 2004, pl. 41; another was included in the Oriental Ceramic Society Exhibition of Jingdezhen Wares. The Yuan Evolution, London, 1984, cat. no. 146; and a third with the splashes fired to a grey tone, from the C.P. Lin Collection, included in the exhibition Elegant Form and Harmonious Decoration. Four Dynasties of Jingdezhen Porcelain, Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, London, 1992, cat. no. 17, was sold in these rooms, 20th May 1981, lot 652.
Other vessels decorated with similar copper splashes include a cup in the British Museum, London, illustrated in R.L. Hobson, Chinese Ceramics from Private Collections, London, 1931, pl. 90, from the collection of H.J. Oppenheim; a revolving stem cup with a chilong on the exterior, excavated in 1980 in Gao’an county, Jiangxi province, now in the Gao’an County Musuem, illustrated in Liu Liang-yu, A Survey of Chinese Ceramics, vol. 3, Taipei, 1992, p. 177 bottom right; and a fragment of a stem cup with moulded decoration on the interior, in the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C., included in the exhibition Blue and White. Chinese Porcelain and Its Impact on the Western World, The David and Alfred Smart Gallery, University of Chicago, Chicago, 1965, cat. no. 11e.
