注脚:十六世紀 銅胎掐絲琺瑯葡萄紋葫蘆瓶Provenance:Roger Keverne Ltd, 27 September 2000來源:Roger Keverne Ltd，2000年9月27日The design of grapes seems to have been a popular one during the late Ming and early Qing periods. The use of a white ground to silhouette the grapes appears to be the standard for this group, though other grounds are known as noted by Sir Harry Garner, Chinese and Japanese Cloisonné Enamels, London, 1962, p. 72. For a number of examples bearing this design, see ibid., no. 34 for a dish from the Gemeente Museum, The Hague assigned to the first half of the sixteenth century, and 40A, for a box and cover from the Victoria and Albert Museum.See also a vase, zun, illustrated in Enamel Ware in the Ming and Ch'ing Dynasties, National Palace Museum, 1999, p. 70, no. 4.See also the footnote to the following lot 175.
