|宋 定窯花口碟Provenance:A Japanese private collection, by repute來源：據傳日本私人舊藏Large Ding petal-rim dishes or washers of such size are very rare. Compare, however, with a related Ding foliate-rimmed dish incised with plantain, rocks and insects, Northern Song/ Jin dynasty, illustrated in Tsai Meifen, Decorated Porcelains of Dingzhou: White Ding Wares from the Collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 2014, no.II-72; compare also with a Qingbai dish with a foliate rim, 11th century, of similar form to the present lot, illustrated in B.Gray, Sung Porcelain & Stoneware, London, 1984, pl.123. 十二瓣花口，斜躺壁，略起筋成瓣形，平底微隆，無圈足，通施透明釉，底部一圈露胎。此器型多仿自金銀器，金銀延展度強，能做出多種花型，而陶埏仿之則多有變形之虞。此件花口碟造型停勻秀美，工整雅緻，拉胚煅燒尚無變形，實數難得。可比較北宋/金時期刻花花口碟，藏於台北故宮，見蔡玫芬編，《定州花瓷－院藏定窯系白瓷特展》，台北，2014年，編號II-72。花口碟之制還可比較一件十一世紀早期的青白瓷花口碟，見B.Gray著，《Sung Porcelain & Stoneware》，倫敦，1984年，圖版123。Please refer to the e-catalogue for an article by Professor Qin Dashu, School of Archaeology and Museology, Peking University請查看電子圖錄以閱覽北京大學考古文博學院秦大樹教授對此拍品之相關論述。
