清十八世紀 綠地粉彩西洋人物圖琮式瓶
Famille rose vases with this decorative theme was popular from the
18th century, though it is rare to find an example with this high quality
of enamelling. The skill of the brush is particularly evident in the
depiction of the rocks on this vase, a feature which is similarly found
on deer vases of the Qianlong period, such as the pair in the National
Palace Museum, Illustrated in Stunning Decorative Porcelains from the
Ch’ien-lung Reign, Taipei, 2008, pp. 156-7, pl, 51.
此類色地粉彩器自清中期開始流行。此瓶釉彩色澤淡雅，用以描繪岩石
