Private collection, NSW, previous on loan to the Art Gallery NSW since 1984 | 新州私人收藏,自1984年起借展於新南威爾士州立博物館(Lot 6, 7, and 127 to 137 in sale 32226)

This group of Dehua wares represents some of the earliest forms produced at the kiln. They serve as informative case studies illustrating the diverse demand the centre catered to, domestic and international alike, including ceremonial, religious, utilitarian, and decorative purposes. Together with a rare Zhangzhou charger and a southern Ding-type white plate, the group was on loan to the Art Gallery of New South Wales from 1984, with some pieces still retaining their accession labels. Collectively, they testify to the vibrant commercial activities of the southern kilns in imperial China.

此組德化白瓷包括了該窯最早期的若干形制、功用,涵括禮儀、宗教、實用、裝飾等多方面用途,展現了德化對海内外不同市場需求的回應,均具代表與啟發性。連同一特殊的漳州大盤及一件南方定窯類白盤,自1984年起曾借展於新南威爾士州美術館,其中部分器物仍留有館藏標籤。整組器物共同見證了中國南方窯場在帝制時期繁盛的商業活動。
