清康熙 鬥彩龍鳳呈祥盌 一對
青花「大清康熙年製」楷書款
Provenance: a European private collection, and thence by descent
來源: 歐洲私人收藏,並由後人保存迄今
The present pair of bowls is very rare in its combination of design and size. However, see one example illustrated by Wang Qingzheng, ed., Kangxi Porcelain Ware from the Shanghai Museum Collection, Shanghai, 1998, pl.160. However for a pair of related dishes with dragons on a yellow-ground, see Yang Boda, The Tsui Museum of Art: Chinese Ceramics IV: Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong, 1995, no.120, and for a related smaller blue-wash-ground example, decorated with dragons only, see Chinese Porcelain: The S.C. Ko Tianminlou Collection, Part I, Hong Kong, 1987, pl.91. See also a similarly decorated dish, Kangxi mark and period, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours, Hong Kong, 1999, pl.210.
