A DOUCAI ‘CHICKEN’ CUP
斗彩鸡缸杯
清雍正
来源:戴润斋J.T.Tai旧藏
款识:『大明成化年制』六字双行楷书款
说明:本品撇口,弧壁,卧足,外壁分别绘两组雌雄及三只小鸡,间以洞石花卉相隔。鸡的姿态不一,或俯首觅食,或嬉戏争夺,极为生动。清代康雍时期,成化斗彩鸡缸杯极受重视,于当时程哲所著《蓉槎蠡说》、刘廷几《在园杂记》、孙承泽《砚山斋杂记》、高士奇《高江村集》等笔记内皆有记述。在此社会风气影响下,清代御窑厂也多有仿烧。此件鸡缸杯即为雍正佳作,其造型精巧,胎体轻薄,外壁绘出雌鸡带领数只雏鸡悠然觅食,雏鸡各有盼顾,情态可爱传神,所置庭院美景,春意荡漾,妍花怒放,叠石相依。画笔生动细腻,设色妍丽,纹饰纯仿成窑鸡缸杯,是对其的忠实摹拟。国画大师齐白石先生曾有一系列“他日相呼”的画作,画中描绘的是两只小鸡争抢一条蚯蚓的生动场景,刚好与本拍品中的小鸡如出一辙,颇为有趣。
