此件清雍正青花番蓮托八寶紋高足小盃即出自樂山堂舊藏，與樂山堂另一件同類型雍正仿成化高足盃（2024年蘇富比釋出）同屬精緻袖珍之作，延續明代成化御窯的端秀風格，體現蔡先生對明清官窯的深厚鑑賞眼光。值得一提的是，SACA曾撰文介紹樂山堂舊藏的一件西周青銅鳥形蓋盒（原萬孝臣、George deBatz舊藏），該器同樣出自樂山堂，顯示其收藏橫跨瓷器與青銅，脈絡清晰且傳承有序，在台灣乃至國際中國藝術收藏圈中，樂山堂堪稱極具代表性的大傳承。

樂山堂為台灣知名收藏家蔡一鳴先生（1927-2021）以家族堂號建立的私人收藏體系。蔡先生祖籍浙江湖州德清，早年於上海受胡惠春等名家影響，移居台灣後白手起家，約於1970年代開始系統性收藏中國古代藝術，尤以歷代官窯瓷器為核心，後期亦廣納古代與近現代書畫。其收藏講求品味與學術性，非以投資為目的，曾出版《樂山堂藏瓷》與《樂山堂書畫》等專冊，深受兩岸專家肯定。蔡先生亦為台灣收藏界重要推手，1992年參與創立「清翫雅集」（台灣最具影響力的民間收藏團體），並擔任首任會長，在兩岸文物交流尚受限制的年代，積極促成展覽與學術活動，為台灣第一代重量級收藏家，備受尊重。

This exceptionally rare Yongzheng miniature blue and white ‘Eight Treasures’ stem cup, with its delicate form and faithful echo of Chenghua prototypes, exemplifies the refined taste of the Leshantang Collection. A related Yongzheng stem cup from the same collection was previously offered in these rooms in 2024. Notably, SACA has previously written about another treasure from Leshantang—a Western Zhou archaic bronze ‘bird’ box and cover (formerly in the Willem van Heusden and Georges deBatz collections)—further illustrating the breadth and scholarly depth of this highly respected Taiwanese lineage in Chinese art connoisseurship.

The Leshantang Collection was formed by the renowned Taiwanese collector Mr. Tsai I-Ming (Cai Yiming, 1927–2021). Born in Shanghai and later based in Taiwan, Mr. Tsai built his collection over nearly half a century, beginning with imperial porcelain from the Song to Qing dynasties and later expanding into classical and modern Chinese painting and calligraphy. His holdings, published in dedicated catalogues such as Leshantang Porcelain and Leshantang Painting and Calligraphy, reflect a discerning eye rooted in connoisseurship rather than speculation. As the founding chairman of the Qingwan Yaji (Pure Enjoyment Society), the most influential collectors’ group in Taiwan, Mr. Tsai played a pivotal role in promoting Chinese art appreciation and cross-strait cultural exchange during a formative period.

PROPERTY FROM THE LESHANTANG COLLECTION | 樂山堂收藏

A fine and very rare miniature blue and white 'Eight Treasures' stem cup, Mark and period of Yongzheng

Estimate

250,000 - 400,000 HKD

Description

h. 4.7 cm

整體品相佳。盃心見兩小處稍經輕磨，或為掩飾鐵斑。

來源

香港佳士得1997年4月28日，編號669

本器為雍正朝仿明成化御窰高足盃之作，紋飾、造型皆承襲成化原器，惟尺寸更為小巧袖珍，高度約僅前者及雍正同式仿製例的一半，殊為少見。此類成化高足盃及雍正仿例，高度一般多約8公分，如台北故宮博物院所藏成化番蓮托八寶紋高足盃一例（館藏編號：故瓷3543），及雍正朝一例（故瓷1625），可作參考。

與本品形制、尺寸、紋樣均相近者寥寥，如台北故宮博物院所藏一例（故瓷18002），其盃後被收入乾隆紫檀嵌寶格匣中（故雜538），足見清代帝王對此類精緻袖珍御瓷之賞識與偏愛。

另可參考一相關例，亦為樂山堂舊藏，與本品同屬雍正仿成窰高足盃類，盃身侈口，外壁底沿一周飾幾何花卉紋，釋於香港蘇富比2024年4月9日，編號117。 兩式皆承繼成化高足盃之制，延續明代御窰端莊秀雅之造型與吉祥紋飾風格。

Provenance

Christie's Hong Kong, 28th April 1997, lot 669.

Condition Report

Fine overall condition, with two small lightly polished spots to the interior centre, possibly to polish over iron spots.

Catalogue Note

The present vessel belongs to a small group of Yongzheng blue and white stem cups inspired by Chenghua period creations of the Ming dynasty. Most examples from this group closely reproduce the earlier models in design, form, and scale, typically standing around 8 cm high. The current cup, however, represents a rarer reinterpretation within this tradition, remarkable for its diminutive size, measuring roughly half the height of both its Chenghua originals and standard Yongzheng counterparts (for comparison, see a Chenghua example in the Taipei Palace Museum, acc. no. guci‑3543, and a Yongzheng version of standard size, acc. no. guci‑1625).

A notable Yongzheng example, closely comparable to the present lot, is in the collection of the Taipei Palace Museum (acc. no. guci-18002); it was later fitted into an inlaid zitan curio box of the Qianlong period (acc. no. guza-538), highlighting the emperor’s discernment and personal interest in such finely crafted miniature vessels.

See a related example, also from the Leshantang Collection, belonging to the same group but characterised by a ruyi strapwork above the stem and a slightly more rounded bowl, sold in these rooms, 9th April 2024, lot 117. Both variants trace their origins to celebrated fifteenth-century imperial designs, echoing the elegant forms and motifs of Ming court porcelains while demonstrating both the standard and the rare miniature Yongzheng interpretations of this classic type.
