1861-1862年間法國駐北京大使館二等秘書,莫瑞斯·馬尚·維爾努耶(1829-1898)舊藏

莫瑞斯·馬尚·維爾努耶(1829-1898)為1861至1862期間法國駐北京大使館的二等秘書,他曾獲得眾多榮譽勳章,包括法國政府頒授的最高榮譽勳位勳章、學院軍官章、遠東戰役勳章、西班牙皇家十字勳章、查爾斯三世勳章、庇護九世騎士勳章等等。其父奧古斯丁·馬尚·維爾努耶則是位於法國安茹地區著名的科爾尼艾爾堡的建造人。
書燈分段燒造,大、中、小三層圓盤以中柱相串,分別是燈盞托盤,中層蠟盤和底層托盤。外壁以釉上礬紅裝飾,頂盤以簡單花瓣點綴。中盤折沿飾纏枝蓮紋,內心飾三朵纏枝蓮,並以描金壽字紋相間。底層托盤亦飾對應的纏枝蓮紋大小兩圈,邊沿外壁則飾迴紋一周。中柱上柱繪連珠、卷草、蝙蝠,下柱繪仰覆蓮瓣、忍冬、朵花紋飾、近底托處再以描金線勾勒,紋飾超過十餘層,紋樣繁縟,工藝考究。底部飾綠松石釉,並以礬紅書「大清道光年製」篆書款。
以礬紅為飾之書燈,傳世品中極為稀少,道光時期同式之例,目前尚未所見有其他著錄。此對書燈器形及紋飾繼承乾隆時期唐英奉旨督造御題詩青花瓷燈,造型雖與五供之燭台相似,但用途截然不同,為清代宮廷文房器具,置於書齋作陳設之用。

此長頸瓶釉裏紅色調艷麗、紋飾清晰,並且有深淺不一的多層次色階,足顯窯匠對窯溫掌控以及燒造時間的精確把握,為嘉慶一朝釉裏紅中不可多得一例。
釉裏紅是用銅紅料在瓷器坯胎上描繪紋飾,然後罩以透明釉再入窯後的還原焰中一次燒成,銅元素相對不穩定,因此對窯匠對窯溫及時間掌控極其嚴格。此工藝創燒與元代,明宣德達到一高峰,明中期一度衰落。清康熙時期恢復至以前水平,雍正時更為精進。嘉慶一朝,釉裏紅發色如周正者已是屈指可數,見瀋陽故宮博物院藏一件清嘉慶釉裏紅番蓮紋瓶,《瀋陽故宮博物院藏文物精粹:瓷器卷(下)》,瀋陽,2007年,頁22-23,編號14。

本瓶器型優雅,啟發自漢代銅器雛本,瓶身精繪五爪龍、鳳紋,顯示帝后無上權威榮貴。釉裏紅瓷燒造困難重重,須極度精準控制火候,甫得佳色。清高宗大興藝文,本瓶即製於乾隆一朝,臻品菁華,殊為罕見,極具宮廷氣派,彰顯中華藝匠深諳珍瓷雅韻,技術卓絕出眾。御製瓷器雖多刻當朝帝皇年款,唯據宮廷檔案記載,乾隆帝亦偶有諭令瓷器不落年款,例見馮先銘,《中國古陶瓷文獻集釋》,台北,2000年,頁241。
瓶身龍、鳳目以青花點睛,對比釉裏紅紋飾,甚為獨特,鮮見於同類瓷瓶。張僧繇(活躍於490-540年)嘗於江蘇南京一寺廟牆上繪四龍,皆不點睛。一日,替其中二龍點睛,兩龍乘雲騰飛上天,未點睛者則仍在。本品龍鳳紋飾栩栩如生,氣魄恢宏,猶如呼應張僧繇畫龍點睛之傳說。
龍鳳乃歷史最悠久之主題紋飾之一,沿用至今,恆常不衰。龍鳳紋飾於元代成正統,見於玉器及珍瓷,三爪為貴胄所用,五爪為宮廷御品。明初,龍鳳合繪,意寓帝后婚慶。至清康熙一朝,龍鳳紋飾尤見流行於五彩瓷,北京及台北故宮博物院均收藏帶康熙年款盤及盌例,上飾穿花五爪龍鳳。
龍鳳紋飾流行雖廣,見於各式釉瓷,變化多樣,釉裏紅瓷卻屬罕見。釉裏紅瓷燒造困難,須極度精準控制火候(氧化或還原),佳色方成。乾隆三年(1738),檔案記載「十月二十九日……傳旨……釉裏紅龍梅瓶,紅龍顏色不好,往好裏燒造……」,見馮先銘,前述出處,頁232。本釉裏紅瓶發色嬌柔紅潤,屬御窰廠成功燒造釉裏紅瓷之佳例。
此長頸瓶或為孤品,並無相同型飾作例存世,唯可參考出自清宮、型飾相近作例多件,可見一帶乾隆年款釉裏紅瓶例,瓶身繪穿雲祥龍及蝙蝠紋,龍紋與本品相近,唯龍目非青花,瓶身較扁平,撇口,曾展於《La Splendeur Du Feu: Chefs-D’oeuvre de la Porcelaine Chinoise de Jingdezhen du XII au XVIII Siecle》,Centre Culturel de Chine a Paris,巴黎,2004年,編號31。另可參考一玉壺春瓶,帶乾隆年款,瓶身繪兩龍穿雲,龍睛皆為釉裏紅,兩度售於香港蘇富比,先後為1994年5月3日,編號194及2002年10月30日,編號292,圖見《香港蘇富比三十周年》,香港,2003年,圖版295,後易手於香港佳士得2009年5月27日,編號1831。再比十八世紀釉裏紅梅瓶例,繪雙鳳牡丹,分別售於倫敦蘇富比2010年11月10日,編號84及香港佳士得2011年6月1日,編號3925。
本瓶造型,啟發自銅器雛本,參考一漢代鏨花長頸銅壺,現藏紐約大都會藝術博物館,比較該壺及一南宋官窰青釉八方弦紋盤口瓶,後者售於香港蘇富比2015年4月7日,編號1。宋朝年間,此器型始現於瓷器,後演變不斷,至清朝尤為流行,深得清代帝王青睞。比較兩例,均帶乾隆款,器型相近,略矮,分別為仿汝釉及仿官釉,曾展於《暫得樓清代官窰單色瓷器》,香港中文大學藝術館,香港,2005年,編號28及33。再比一南宋官窰米黃釉直頸瓶,器型相近,瓶頸較粗,瓶身較扁平,售於倫敦蘇富比2015年5月13日,編號32。
明初龍鳳紋飾瓷器,可參考台北故宮博物院收藏宣德青花龍鳳葵式洗,器心畫龍鳳一對,外壁飾十團龍鳳雲紋,曾展於《明代宣德官窰精華特展圖錄》,台北,1998年,編號182。另可參考五彩盤及盌例各一,均飾釉上彩龍鳳紋,圖見《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集·五彩·闘彩》 ,香港,1999年,圖版133及135。

Catalogue note
It is rare to find porcelains of the Qianlong period painted entirely in copper red and the present piece is even more unusual for its auspicious double-gourd form and for the attractive chi dragon roundel design on the main body. Only a few similar examples are known; such as the pair on display in the Suianshi (Room of Finding Peace) in the Yangxindian (Hall of Cultivating Mind) in the Forbidden City, Beijing, where the emperor is said to have rested during fasting periods, illustrated in situ in Qingdai gongting shenghuo/Life in the Forbidden City, Hong Kong, 1985, pl. 177. Another closely related piece was sold at Christie’s 28th July 1975, lot 213. A further vase of this form and decoration and resting on a short foot, but of slightly smaller dimensions was sold in these rooms, 29th November 1976, lot 499.
Qianlong mark and period double-gourd form vases painted with dragons amongst clouds in copper red are another version of this type. See one from the collection of T.Y. Chao included in the exhibition Ming and Ch’ing Porcelain from the Collection of the T.Y. Chao Family Foundation, Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong, 1978, cat. no. 781, and sold thrice in these rooms, 17th November 1975, lot 222, 18th November 1986, lot 71, and again 2nd April 2018, lot 3203. Another was sold in our London rooms, 20th June 2001, lot 23, and again in these rooms, 9th October 2007, lot 1216.
Vases of this form can also be found painted with a continuous lotus scroll motif, such as the piece from the collections of Julius David Ichenhausern (1858-1910), New York, and Sir William Cornelius Van Horne (1843-1915), sold at Christie’s New York, 16th September 2011, lot 1564; and another Qianlong vase from the Daae collection included in the exhibition Daae Samlingen, Kunstindustrimuseet, Oslo, 1989, p. 37.
Underglaze red decoration, much favoured during the early Ming dynasty but virtually abandoned after the Xuande period due to the very high failure rate during firing, was revived and mastered in the early Qing dynasty, around the 1670s of the Kangxi period. It became a standard practice although successful firing of the copper pigment remained particularly difficult hence wares decorated in this manner continued to be made in small quantities.
純以銅紅繪製之乾隆瓷器極甚珍罕,此葫蘆瓶器形寓意吉祥,瓶身繪團螭紋細緻悅目,更是難得。相似作例僅止數器。北京紫禁城養心殿隨安室,據說為帝王齋戒期間的居所,室中展示一對相類瓶例,錄於《清代宮廷生活》,香港,1985年,圖版177。另一極其相似之瓶,售於倫敦佳士得1975年7月28日,編號213。相同器形及紋樣之品尚有一件,惟尺寸較小,下承矮足,1976年11月29日售於香港蘇富比,編號499。
此類作品尚有乾隆款釉裏紅海水祥雲游龍圖葫蘆瓶例,可參考一例曾展於《趙從衍基金會藏明清陶瓷》,香港藝術館,香港,1978年,編號781,先後三度售於香港蘇富比1975年11月17日,編號222,及1986年11月18日,編號71及2018年4月2日,編號3203。另有一器,售於倫敦蘇富比2001年6月20日,編號23,後又售於香港蘇富比2007年10月9日,編號1216。
同器形之瓶,亦可見繪纏枝蓮紋者,如紐約 Julius David Ichenhausern(1858-1910年)及 William Cornelius Van Horne 爵士(1843-1915年)舊藏品,售於紐約佳士得2011年9月16日,編號1564。還可比較 Daae 珍藏乾隆作例,展於《Daae Samlingen》,挪威工藝博物館,奧斯陸,1989年,頁37。
釉裏紅盛行於明初,但因其燒成比率甚低,宣德年後幾盡廢止。至清初康熙年間,約1670年代,始得復甦,並臻趨完善。匠人雖得製釉裏紅之法門,但由於銅紅發色掌握甚難,是以燒造一直有限。

This charming jarlet is unusual for both its shape and decoration, the latter successfully combining the highly auspicious motif of bats and wan symbols with elements borrowed from Western art, evident in the geometric rendering of the ruyi band under the neck. This echoes the carved wall panelling that incorporated the hallmark ‘C’ and ‘S’ shapes of the Rococo style, the architectural style that appeared in the European style palace buildings of the Yuanming Yuan, built to satisfy the Emperor’s lavish taste for the exotic as well as his desire to be seen as a universal ruler.
While no other vase of this shape and decoration appears to have been published, vases painted in a similar style with outlines filled with a multitude of small dots to depict the bats’ bodies, include a double gourd-shaped vase decorated with dragons amongst lingzhi scrolls, sold in these rooms, 8th April 2010, lot 1867; a meiping painted with the sanduo (‘Three Abundances’) theme, sold in these rooms, 29th April 1997, lot 653, and again at Christie’s Hong Kong, 29th May 2007, lot 1465; and another sold at Christie’s New York, 23rd March 2912, lot 2088.
