注脚
窰變釉杏圓抱月瓶 《大清乾隆年製》款Inspired by early Ming Dynasty flasks, this Qing example is unusual in the treatment of the neck . Most 18th century moonflasks have either a simple waisted neck with flaring rim or, when they are surmounted by a smaller gourd at the mouth, usually have a short waisted neck left plain or with a single moulded band. The swelling section below the upper gourd in our vase appears rarely. For one other identically-shaped Qianlong-marked example painted in underglaze blue and white from the Qing Court Collection, see Blue and White Porcelain with underglazed Red (III), The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2010, p. 153, no. 139.Another rare example of slightly larger size and under a celadon glaze and with the addition of lightly moulded lotus scrolling to the mouth and sides, see Christie's, Hong Kong, 31 October 2010, lot 899.
