清乾隆剔紅桃紋茶船一對

Provenance:
Parry Collection, London, and thence by descent

來源：
倫敦Parry家族收藏，並由後人保存迄今

The present lot is very rare and few lacquer examples of boat-shaped dishes appear to have been published. See one carved cinnabar lacquer boat-shaped dish, Qing dynasty, illustrated in Ceng zai Cao jia: Cao Qiyong fufu juan zeng Zhongguo gudai qiqi, Hangzhou, 2014, no.88. The boat or sampan-shaped tray or dish, however, can also be seen in porcelain from the Qianlong reign. See a famille rose boat-shaped dish, Qianlong seal mark and of the period, illustrated in The Official Kiln Porcelain of the Chinese Qing Dynasty, Shanghai, 2003, p.262.

See a similar single cinnabar lacquer tray, 18th century, which was sold at Christie's London, 13 May 2011, lot 1300.

茶船，由盞托演變而來，因其形似舟而得名。傳世並經出版的剔紅茶船數量有限，可對比一例清剔紅茶船，收錄於《曾在曹家——曹其鏞夫婦捐贈中國古代漆器》，杭州，2014年，編號88。瓷製茶船更為多見，如一例清乾隆湖綠地粉彩描金萬福寶磬紋茶船，「大清乾隆年制」款，詳見南京博物院編著徐湖平主編，《中國清代官窯瓷器》，上海，2003年，頁262。

倫敦佳士得曾於2011年5月13日售出一例十八世紀剔紅暗八仙紋茶船，拍品編號1300，可資比對。
