拍賣筆記 vol.359 繭山龍泉堂：售價75萬港元，唐三彩藍釉印花寶相華文三足盤 - Mayuyama, Tripod Sancai Dish with Incised Floral Design, Bluett & Sons, Tang Dynasty

此類飾有藍釉（鈷藍）的寶相花紋三足盤存世量極其稀少。縱觀繭山龍泉堂（Mayuyama & Co., Ltd.）近期的定價策略可見：擁有明確流傳記錄及權威出版的器物，其溢價空間通常可達同類無來源作品的1至3倍。這充分證明，經由學者研究與市場週轉反復驗證的器物，其學術價值與收藏價值均會獲得顯著的溢價加持。

即便本作尺寸較小，但考慮到其珍稀度與流傳脈絡，75萬港元的定價不僅公道，且極具性價比。參考2025年11月11日香港蘇富比“岡田美術館”專場中，一件經修復的大型同類盤以107萬港元成交，本作目前的定價策略顯然在合理區間內，是切入高端唐三彩收藏的理想選擇。

Sancai tripod dishes of this type, especially those embellished with cobalt blue glaze, are exceedingly rare. A review of the recent pricing strategies of Mayuyama & Co., Ltd. reveals a clear trend: pieces with a definitive provenance and established publication record command a premium of 100% to 300% (or more) over those lacking such documentation. This underscores how the value of an object is substantially augmented once its authenticity and significance have been repeatedly validated by both scholarly research and market performance.

Despite its relatively diminutive scale, the asking price of HKD 750,000 is highly justifiable and represents excellent value. By way of comparison, a larger dish of similar design—notably with restorations—realized HKD 1.07 million at the Sotheby’s Hong Kong "Okada Museum of Art" special auction on November 11, 2025. In this context, the present dish is priced most reasonably, offering a compelling opportunity for discerning collectors.

傳承

本作經由英國著名古董商 Bluett & Sons 售出，後由 Robert Stanley Hope Smith 收入囊中。Stanley 職業為律師，自 1946 年左右開始收藏中國陶瓷，並於 1950 年成為東方陶瓷學會（Oriental Ceramic Society）會員，直至 1979 年逝世。此器流傳有序，體現了英國傳統陶瓷鑒賞界的高度品位與學術眼光。

說明

唐三彩，顧名思義，是盛行於唐代的鉛釉陶器。其以綠、褐、白三色為主調，呈現出絢爛奪目的藝術效果，在後世備受贊譽。此類三彩盤多作為明器（隨葬品）製作，其器形被認為特別是借鑒了金銀器或其他金屬制器的造型。此盤口沿圓潤並向外舒展，這種張力不僅構築了華麗的盤面空間，更折射出大唐王朝向世界擴張、兼容並蓄的開放時代精神。

在紋飾佈局上，多數唐三彩盤採用中心飾以大型花卉紋、周緣輔以臘纈（蠟染工藝）感白斑的構圖，本作亦承襲此典型範式。盤心以嚴謹的刻線表現出對稱的“寶相華紋”（寶相花），利用胎體原色與褐釉、藍釉交相輝映。從寶相花外緣至口沿的過渡區施以褐釉，而近口沿處則轉為綠釉，色彩分區明確，展現了卓越的色彩平衡感。此外，環繞中心花紋並向外放射分布的無數白斑直達盤沿，營造出繁花似錦的氣氛。這些白斑如水泡般大小不一，筆觸靈動自然，與盤心規整嚴密的幾何刻線形成了動靜結合的藝術趣味。

Tripod Sancai Dish with Incised Floral Design

High Tang Dynasty (7th–8th Century)

H. 4.2 cm, Dia. 18.9 cm

Provenance: Bluett & Sons, London; Former Collection of Robert Stanley Hope Smith (1910–1979).

Price: JPY 15,000,000

Provenance:

This piece passed from the prominent British dealer Bluett & Sons into the collection of Robert Stanley Hope Smith. A lawyer by profession, Stanley began collecting Chinese ceramics around 1946 and became a member of the Oriental Ceramic Society in 1950, continuing his scholarly pursuits until his passing in 1979. This dish stands as a testament to the orthodox lineage of connoisseurship in British Chinese art collecting.

Tang Sancai (three-color glazed ware), as its name suggests, is a celebrated category of ceramics that flourished during the Tang Dynasty. Renowned for its vibrant palette predominantly featuring green, amber (brown), and white glazes, it has earned profound admiration from subsequent generations. Primarily produced as mingqi (funerary wares), these dishes are believed to have been modeled after the forms of contemporary silverware and metalwork. The gently rounded rim that flares outward provides a sense of spatial expansion, reflecting the cosmopolitan and outward-looking ethos of the Tang Empire as it expanded across the world.

The decorative composition follows the quintessential sancai paradigm: a central medallion featuring a large stylized floral motif surrounded by wax-resist white spots. In this piece, the central Hosogemmon (Precious Blossom/Rosette motif) is executed with rigorous incised lines in a symmetrical arrangement, masterfully rendered through a combination of the white body, amber glaze, and cobalt blue glaze. The transition from the flower's periphery to the rim is marked by a clear demarcation of colors—amber glaze in the mid-section and green glaze near the edge—demonstrating a sophisticated sense of chromatic balance. Furthermore, the myriad of white spots surrounding the rosette radiates toward the rim, imbuing the dish with an exuberant atmosphere. These spots, varying in size like floating bubbles, possess a spontaneous quality that provides a compelling visual contrast to the meticulous precision of the central incised design.
