康熙青花凤尾尊鉴定

Authentication of Zun Polished in Blue and White with Phoenix-tail-like-mouth in Kangxi Reign

凤尾尊，瓷质花觚中的一种。其造型通常大口外撇，长颈渐收，鼓腹下敛，足底外倾。因口颈外撇呈凤尾状，故名“凤尾尊”。据《饮流斋说瓷》载：“口大腹小者谓之花觚。明制者身段直下绝无波折，康熙以后则腰际凸起略如香案中插花之具矣”。依此史料及传世品分析，凤尾尊始见于康熙朝(1662—1722年)，是明代花觚型制的演进。多用作陈设，少量为祭器。

Zun with phoenix-tail-like-mouth is one of the porcelain goblet. Its sculpt is mostly formed as wide mouth spreading outward, longneck, large abdomen and four feet extruding. Shape of the mouth is like the phoenix' tail and that is the reason of the name. Theauthor analyzes its form, pattern and copies to discuss the authentication.
