胭脂红地轧道开光花卉纹碗
大清道光年制青花篆书款
碗撇口，深腹，圈足，胎质细腻洁白，器形稳重，隽秀优雅，制作精细。碗心青花双圈勾边，圈内绘花篮一簇，内壁绘青花花卉纹饰四组。外壁以胭脂紫色为地，施轧道工艺，锥剔凤尾形卷草纹，是为锦地。四面圆形开光，开光内绘菊花、寿桃等四季花果纹饰，寓意“四季平安，福寿双全”，吉祥喜庆。开光之间勾绘各式西洋花蔓纹饰，色彩斑斓，争妍斗芳，内壁碗心与外壁相呼应，装饰四季花卉，妍丽而精巧。
此式碗肇始于乾隆初年，主要烧造于乾隆六年至八年之间，为唐英榷陶之精绝隽品，嘉庆、道光二朝继之。其画风具有浓郁的西洋色彩，为典型的清宫洋彩器皿之一，乾隆皇帝对此非常喜欢，曾多次谕旨烧造，并配匣列入“乾清宫头等”予以典藏。
