The current vase belongs to a group of fine Longquan celadon pieces
made in the form and style of Guan ware prototypes, and are most
likely to have been commissioned by the court. A few related pieces
are recorded, such as the lobed vase excavated in Jinyucun, Sichuan
Province, illustrated in The Research of Porcelain of Longquan Kiln,
Beijing, 2013, col pl. 8 (fig. 1); and a lobed wall vase excavated in
Hangzhou, illustrated in Study of Song Xiuneisi Imperial Kilns Hangzhou,
Hangzhou, 2006, p. 148, no. 112 (fig. 2). While the Jinyucun example has
a lozenge-shaped cross-section, the current vase is more rectangular
in form. Its shape is perhaps influenced by earlier Longquan vases with
rectangular cross-section, such as the one dated to the Northern Song
period illustrated by Zhu Boqian in Celadons from Longquan Kilns, Taipei,
1998, p. 110, no. 71. The so-called ‘Longquan Guan’ wares normally have a
dark body, while the current vase has a greyish body applied with a dark
dressing to achieve a similar visual effect. Compare a Longquan celadon
cong vase (故瓷017700N000000000) in the National Palace Museum,
Taipei, which also has similar dressing applied to the body material.
本瓶屬龍泉窯中一種有官窯形式風格的作品,極有可能是宮中定燒的瓷
器。有幾件與本瓶相關的作品可資比較,一件是四川金魚村窖藏出土的
一件黑胎龍泉窯花口瓶,著錄於《龍泉窯瓷器研究》,北京,2013年,
彩色圖版8(圖一);另一件是杭州出土的官窯花口璧瓶,著錄於《南
宋杭州修內司官窯研究》,杭州,2006年,148頁,112號(圖二)。金
魚村瓶是菱形切面,而本瓶的切面則較近於長方形,造型更為秀美忻
長。這個器型可能受到早期龍泉窯的影響,可參考一件北宋的龍泉窯方
瓶,著錄於朱伯謙著《龍泉窯青瓷》,台北,1998年,110頁,71號。龍
泉官窯器通常是黑胎,而本瓶是灰胎上加了深色的護胎汁,以達到同樣
的視覺效果。這種作法的龍泉官窯器可參見台北故宮博物院一件龍泉窯
琮式瓶 (故瓷017700N000000000),同樣是加了深色的護胎汁。
