明崇祯“甲戌春孟赵府造用”款龙纹盘考

A Study of the Glazed-Dish with Dragon Motif and Chinese Characters of ’甲戌春孟赵府造用’ of Chongzhen Period of Ming Dynasty

现存于故宫博物院及其他国内外博物馆的明崇祯"甲戌春孟赵府造用"款龙纹盘,为崇祯时期王府用瓷之标准纪年器,其盘心龙纹样貌异于其他时代,为崇祯一朝瓷器所仅见。作者结合相关史料分析,此类盘应为晚明赵王朱慈向景德镇民窑定烧,部分盘心龙纹之画样或源自《程氏墨苑》与《方氏墨谱》二书。

The Palace Museum and other domestic and foreign museums house a type of glazed-dish with dragon motif and seal mark of‘甲戌春孟赵府造用’of Emperor Chonzhen period of the Ming dynasty.The dragon motif in the central bottom of the dish was unique in design,none is found anywhere else.The under-glazed Chinese characters of’甲戌春孟赵府造用’in the base of the dish means‘the type of dish was specially customized for the private use of Prince Zhao’s Mansion’in English,which is verified with the historical records that Prince Zhao personally ordered the type of dish from the folk kiln in Jingdezhen in the late Ming dynasty.Some of the dragon motifs in the central bottom are probably sourced from the two books of Cheng’s Garden and Fang’s Manual.
