清同治 鬥彩蓮塘鴛鴦紋碗
青花「大清同治年製」楷書款
The depiction of paired mandarin ducks in lotus ponds was a typical theme for porcelains during the Ming dynasty, particularly in the Xuande period. A Xuande prototype of this design is illustrated in Imperial Porcelain of the Yongle and Xuande Periods Excavated from the Site of the Ming Imperial Factory at Jingdezhen, Hong Kong, 1989, pl. 89.
Bowls of this type remained popular during the Qing period. See a similar example, Qianlong seal mark and of the period, sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 26 May 2014, lot 128; and another pair of Jiaqing examples sold at Christie's New York, 19 September 2014, lot 841.
口外撇，弧腹，圈足。外壁鬥彩繪蓮花四叢，鴛鴦兩對，碗心畫蓮花四叢，鴛鴦一對，近足處青花繪變形蓮瓣紋。底青花書二行六字楷款。
蓮塘鴛鴦圖是明代典型瓷器紋飾，尤見於宣德時期。參考一宣德例著錄於《景德鎮珠山出土永樂宣德官窯瓷器展覽》，香港，1989年，圖版89。至清代仍沿續燒製，參考乾隆時期一例，底書篆書款，售於香港邦瀚斯，2014年5月26日，拍品編號128。另有一對嘉慶例售於紐約佳士得，2014年9月19日，拍品編號841。
