康熙 “穆王八駿”青花碗
Sold for €8,848
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1662-1722. Thinly potted with deep conical sides rising from a tapered foot to an everted iron-washed rim. Finely painted in cobalt blue with the Eight Horses of Muwang frolicking or grazing amid a rocky landscape with pine, willow, and prunus, with seven horses around the exterior and the eighth enclosed within a double circle at the center of the interior. The base with a six-character mark da Ming Jiajing nianzhi within a double circle.
Provenance: Butterfield & Butterfield, San Francisco, USA, Fine Asian Works of Art, 19 May 1995, lot 590. A private collector in California, acquired from the above.
Condition: Excellent condition with only minor wear and firing flaws.
Weight: 286.3 g
Dimensions: Diameter 16.7 cm
With a silk storage box. (2)
The charming scene represents the Eight Horses of King Mu Wang, who reigned during the Zhou dynasty in the 10th Century BC, and these Eight Horses were his favorite chargers which pulled the Emperor's chariot as he progressed about his realm to visit the Goddess Hsi Wang Mu.
The present lot belongs to a small yet well recorded group of blue and white bowls, all painted with the eight horses of Mu Wang, and bearing six-character marks da Ming Jiajing nianzhi within a double circle. Note that it has most recently been suggested by some scholars that these bowls might rather date to the Jiajing period (1521-1567) instead of the Kangxi period (1662-1722).
Literature comparison: For a pair of dishes with similar iron-painted rims and Jiajing marks, dated to the early Qing dynasty, see Yeo and Martin, Chinese Blue & White Ceramics, Arts Orientalis, Singapore, 1978, p. 248 and pl. 160, nos. 296 and 297. Another bowl of similar form, horse decoration, and Jiajing mark, dated to the later Transitional period is published in Richard Kilburn, Transitional Wares and Their Forerunners, Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong, 1981, p. 148, no. 97.
康熙 “穆王八駿”青花碗
中國，1662-1722年。此碗敞口外撇，碗沿鐵鏽色，斜弧腹，圈足。外壁青花繪八駿圖，駿馬形態各異，畫法精細，青花層次鮮明，濃淡相宜。碗心青花繪滾地馬，給人以疏朗清閒的感覺，情趣鮮明。圈足内雙圈六字款“大明嘉靖年製”。
來源：美國舊金山Butterfield & Butterfield藝廊，1995年5月19日Fine Asian Works of Art， lot 590。一位加利福尼亞私人藏家購於上述拍賣。
品相：狀況極佳，只有輕微的磨損和燒製瑕疵。
重量：286.3 克
尺寸：直徑16.7 厘米
錦盒。(2)
八駿之說始於公元前十世紀的周穆王時期。傳穆王以此八駿駕車，可日行萬里，使之馭以見西王母。
現拍品屬少卻有記錄的一組青花碗中的一只，均繪穆王八匹馬，雙圈內“大明嘉靖年製”六字。 請注意，近期有一些學者認爲這些碗可能是來自嘉靖時期（1521-1567）而不是康熙時期（1662-1722）。
文獻比較：一對相似的汎紅色口沿並同有嘉靖款的清代早期的盤子，見 Yeo and Martin, Chinese Blue & White Ceramics, Arts Orientalis, Singapore, 1978, 第248頁圖160, nos. 296 and 297；另一只相近形狀的駿馬圖碗，嘉靖款，過渡期後期，曾出版於Richard Kilburn, Transitional Wares and Their Forerunners, Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong, 1981, 第 148頁, no. 97。
