珐琅彩大多是小件,素有“瓶不过拳,盘不超掌”之说,此盘不但器型硕大,色彩丰富,而且画工极为精湛,九条虬龙神态各异,腾跃蹿飞,使室内烟云蒸腾,满屋瑞气,尽显九五之尊之气!据说,此盘为唐英花十年心血,在乾隆二十年时研制而成,本准备奉献乾隆五十大寿,可此时乾隆还只有四十四岁,唐英却实在无力坚持下去,只好提前敬奉皇上,也作为自己一生的收官之作。 珐琅彩制作集当时一流顶级高手而为之,是那个时代最高水平的艺术精品,彰显了中华民族传统文化的最高境界。
Enamel is mostly small, known as “bottle not big than fist, plate not exceed than palm”. This plate is not only large type, rich colors but also exquisite painting. Nine dragons look different, jumping and flying, making the indoor smoke transpiring and full of auspicious light, and revealing imperial style. It is said that the plate made in Qianlong Year Twenty by Tang Ying’s ten years’ effort, and first prepared to dedicate to Qianlong 50 years’ birthday, but at this time Qianlong was only forty-four years old, Tang Ying was too weak to continue, so dedicate to the emperor in advance, also as a wrap up for himself.
The enamel was made by the top class master, was the highest level of art in that era, showing the highest realm of Chinese traditional culture.
