状况报告
We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
– In good overall condition with exception of some wear to the iron-red enamels, and some losses to the green enamels particularly to the wings of one phoenix and the body of the other, which have been overpainted.
– There are a few faint glaze lines on one side of the bulbous mouth which do not go through the body, and occurred during the firing process; the tapered body has three areas of indentation which occurred naturally during the firing and do not detract from the overall design; there is a pale bluish area on the mouth rim measuring approx. 1 cm. wide, which may have been caused by cobalt during manufacture.

侈口，腹部内敛，圈足。盘心主题纹饰为高仕童子人物故事。图案色彩柔和，以红、绿彩为主，点缀了少量的黄彩，人物形象生动，庭院景色描绘细致，笔触简略，挥洒自如，并绘有典型明中期风格云纹贯穿纹饰其中，底书“陈文显造”两行四字楷书款。
盘上仅用红、绿两色绘画，低温烧成，红者如枣，绿者发翠。此大俗即大雅的艳丽表达方式，具有浓郁的民间艺术气息。红绿二彩浓妍相映，其用色之巧妙，实难书表，红绿转换自如，绝无重复迭杂之处。且红绿彩以其浓艳、奔放的绘画和书法为瓷器注入了蓬勃向上的活力和健康的艺术精神，再现了古典、朴素而又健康的美，这是古人生命的张扬和艺术的辉煌。

《饮流斋说瓷》写到：「瓷之绘一龙一凤者，大抵皆历代君主大婚时所制，以志纪念者也。」本件拍品青花浓艳发紫，所用回青料，为万历早期器。可见此碗应为万历大婚用器。万历六年，朱翊钧年仅十三岁，举行大婚迎娶皇后，张居正时任首辅，史称「万历新政」，晚明中兴之势已初成。

此时万历一窑，名品迭出，尤其五彩一项，热烈奔放，引人称道。万历青花五彩龙凤器，可见花觚、瓶、盘、盒等器，样式众多，皆胎釉精良、造型规整，款识硬朗，本品可为其中代表。盘心绘一龙一凤相对，内壁绘缠枝花卉八朵，外壁绘宝物八种。所绘龙纹神采飞扬，凤舞率性洒脱，明代瓷器的古拙硬朗，可见一斑。此盘堂皇富丽而稚拙可掬，佳器诚属。

拍品專文
A range of innovative shapes were introduced in the Jiajing period, and this type of square dish with flaring sides was one of these new forms.

In wucai enamels, similar dishes include one bequeathed by Harry Oppenheim, illustrated by J. Harrison-Hall, Ming Ceramics in the British Museum, London, 2001, pl. 9:115, where the author compares it to another example from an unnamed private Japanese collection, illustrated by Yajima Ritsuko, Overglaze Enamel Ware in the Ming Dynasty, Japan, 1996, no. 31; one in the Umezawa Gallery, included in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, fig. 838, as well as in Sekai Toji Zenshu, vol. 11, fig. 127; and one illustrated in Ceramic Art of the World, Shogakukan Series, vol. 4, pl. 78. Two related dishes were sold at auction, the first in our London Rooms, 17 June 1985, lot 437; and the other was sold in these Rooms, 30 October 1995, lot 712 A, and again, in our New York Rooms, 16 September 1998, lot 364.

Compare also to another dish of this form, painted in underglaze-blue on a yellow-enamel ground, also bequeathed by Harry Oppenheim to the British Museum, illustrated by J. Harrison-Hall, op. cit., pl. 9:87.

A MASSIVE AND EXTREMELY RARE WUCAI ‘DRAGON AND PHOENIX’ HEXAGONAL VASE

成交總額HKD 1,120,000

A MASSIVE AND EXTREMELY RARE WUCAI ‘DRAGON AND PHOENIX’ HEXAGONAL VASE
WANLI SIX-CHARACTER MARK WITHIN A DOUBLE RECTANGLE IN A LINE AND OF THE PERIOD (1573-1619)

The vase is sturdily potted with a fluted bulbous mid-section between hexagonal upper and lower sections. The mid-section is colourfully painted on the lobes with alternating dragons and phoenix. The upper-section is painted on each facet with an antique vase containing flowers; the lower-section on each facet with flowers arranged in a jardinière on a stand.

Vases of this impressive height would have been very hard fire successfully, accounting for the very few related examples. The current vase is particularly notable for its sturdy potting and vibrant enamels, on which the dragons and pheonix are especially well drawn. A vase of the same shape and design, also bearing a Wanli mark in a double rectangle, but of about half the size (47 cm. high), is illustrated in Mayuyama Seventy Years, vol. 1, Tokyo, 1976, no. 913 (fig. 1).

The box finely potted with slightly tapered sides fluted into eight lobes, vividly painted in underglaze-blue and vibrant enamels around the exterior with four descending dragons alternating with another four ascending phoenix contesting a ‘flaming pearl’, all amidst scattered floral sprays and within double-line borders, the flattened floral-shaped cover decorated with a further dragon and phoenix pair encircling the bud-shaped finial enamelled with vertical stripes, the reign mark on the base inscribed in underglaze-blue within a rare design of eight linked ruyi-heads, covered in a glaze with a soft blue tinge stopping in a neat line at the foot to reveal the smooth white body

Previously sold in these Rooms, 13 January 1987, lot 544.

Covered boxes of this type with almost straight sides are sometimes known as cricket jars, which are believed to have been used during the summer months to contain fighting or singing crickets, as the porcelain was good at keeping the insects cool during the hot weather. Other floral-form boxes of this type decorated in wucai enamel and in underglaze-blue are known, but no exact box and cover of this shape and size with dragon and phoenix motifs appear to have been published.

Compare with boxes of similar shape and size painted with human figures: two in the Idemitsu Museum, one in blue and white, and the other in wucai enamel are illustrated together in Chinese Ceramics in the Idemitsu Collection, Japan, 1987, pl. 201; one is illustrated in the Malcolm MacDonald Collection of Chinese Ceramics, Oxford, 1972, no. 312; and two similar examples, but with the covers missing, have been sold at auction, at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 16 May 1989, lot 136, and at Sotheby’s London, 12 June 1990, lot 238. A box with bracket-lobes and figural painting from the Hatakayama Memorial Museum was included in the Asia Society Exhibition of Chinese Ceramics from Japanese Collections, New York, 1977, Catalogue no. 58, where it is noted that although such boxes were probably originally intended for use on a scholar’s desk, they have been used in Japan as water jars for the tea ceremony. Cf. also another bracket-lobed box and cover enamelled with cats and dogs illustrated by Jessica Harrison-Hall, Ming Ceramics in the British Museum, London, 2001, pl. 11:153.

Lobed boxes with dragons include a hexagonal example in Beijing, illustrated in Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 1999, pl. 32; a pentagonal box from the Idemitsu Museum of Arts, exhibited at the Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka, Imperial Overglaze-Enamelled Wares in the Late Ming Dynasty, 1995, and illustrated in the Catalogue, no. 29; while a blue and white version is illustrated in Chinese Ceramics in the Toguri Collection, no. 116.

The decoration on the present box is remarkably vibrant, and the combination of the dragon and phoenix on a floral background is more often found on larger pieces to accommodate the complex design. Compare with two large circular wucai boxes with similar motifs, one in the Umezawa Kinenkan Museum, Tokyo, which has been officially designated an Important Art Object by Japanese authorities, illustrated in Sekai Toji Zenshu, Japan, 1976, pl. 107; and the other exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, 1974-2000, and subsequently sold in these Rooms, 29 April 2002, lot 561. Of particular interest are the reign marks on these boxes, which are identical in style to that on the present small box and to those enamelled with figures. These marks are elaborately conceived with ruyi-heads surrounding the inscription, but it is not clear how these marks are distributed among the many Wanli-marked pieces made for the palace.
