清乾隆 茶葉末釉荸薺瓶 Qing Dynasty Qianlong period. Of elegant pear shape, well potted with a compressed globular body rising from a short splayed foot to a slender waisted tubular neck and everted rim, covered overall in a yellow-speckled olive-green glaze, the base incised with a six-character Qianlong seal mark dressed beneath a brown slip, fitted with a rosewood stand. 來源: 紐約私人藏家收藏。荸薺瓶為清宮瓷器燒造的傳統形制之一，始於康熙朝，而尤盛於乾隆。因器形似荸薺而得名，直頸較粗，有撇口與直口之分，器腹均為扁圓，形如荸薺，充滿賞趣。正如此茶葉末釉荸薺瓶，直頸長頎、溜肩、扁鼓腹，底承圈足，底部正中落“大清乾隆年制”六字篆書款。器形飽滿端正，重心下移，愈顯豐腴大方。整器通體施茶葉末釉，釉質潤澤，釉色勻凈而深沉，誠如《陶雅》之所贊“茶葉末紋理之佳妙，有若干泥團之疏散於水中者，且其漸漸暈開，匯於底足，圍繞週遭，直如鮮魚腹皮之姿態流動，又於窯變外得少佳趣。”細細觀之，此瓶造型端莊規整，釉質釉色靜穆，盡顯大氣雅緻，誠為乾隆官窯佳品。
