Cataloguing
Catalogue Note
This vase is remarkable for its pleasing proportions， watery celadon glaze and subtly incised floral scroll. It encapsulates the prevailing taste at the Qianlong court for porcelain that adapted familiar forms and combined them with novel designs. The facetted shape and four dragon handles were inspired by archaic bronze vessels of the Eastern Zhou period （770-256 BC）， while its incised feathery scroll is strongly indebted to French Rococo. The craftsman who made this piece successfully adapted the somewhat austere archaic bronze shape to the sophisticated taste of the Qing court by diminishing the size of the four handles and incising the body with a luxuriant scroll.
Vases of this unusual form and incised with a floral scroll are rare. A vase of similar form but with an incised floral scroll rendered in gilt， formerly in the Robert Chang Collection， was included in the exhibition Important Chinese Ceramics from the Robert Chang Collection， Christie's London， 1993， cat. no. 113， then sold in our Hong Kong rooms， 27th April 1993， lot 246. Compare also with a pair of reticulated vases of related form but larger size， similarly fashioned with four dragon-shaped handles on the neck and decorated in famille-rose enamels against a celadon ground， sold at Christie's Hong Kong， 29th May 2007， lot 1370.
For the prototype of this form， see a bronze fanghu with large dragon handles at the four corners， attributed to the 4th century BC， unearthed in Pingshan， Hebei province， and illustrated in Zhongguo qingtongqi quanji， Dong Zhou [Complete Collection of Chinese Bronzes. Eastern Zhou]， vol. 9， Beijing， 1997， pl. 154.
本尊比例匀称，粉青釉莹润，缠枝莲纹含蓄秀例。乾隆瓷器取多经典，以新颖纹饰重新组合，本品亦属此例。方壶及四龙耳器型源自东周青铜器，卷草纹则源材法国洛可可艺术风格。东周方壶朴雅简约，本尊则四龙耳尺寸较小，更显釉色莹亮，加之纹饰秀丽，从中可见清朝宫廷瓷器品味高雅。
本品器型罕见，带刻花纹饰者更为难得，唯可比较一例，器型相近，描金纹饰，出自张宗宪收藏，曾展于《Important Chinese Ceramics from the Robert Chang Collection》，伦敦佳士得， 1993年，编号113，售于香港苏富比1993年4月27日，编号246。比较一对缕空尊例，尺寸较大，四龙耳与本品相近，青釉，粉彩纹饰，售于香港佳士得2007年5月29日，编号1370。
本品原型，参考一件河北平山出土青铜方壶，四方带龙状壶耳，壶耳较本品为大，断代公元前四世纪，图载于《中国青铜器-东周》，卷9，北京，1997年，图版154。
