烏金釉為康熙年間創燒的高溫單色釉新品種,因釉料主要取自景德鎮附近所產的烏金土而得名。以康熙朝作品為代表,是景德鎮窯利用含鐵量13.4﹪的烏金土製釉而燒出的一種光潤透亮、色黑如漆的純正黑釉。雍正時唐英在《陶成紀事碑》中亦提到「新制仿烏金釉」,惟存世的康熙、雍正兩朝烏金釉品種並不多見。此尊口沿外坦,豐肩,鼓腹,圈足外撇。肩部貼飾兩個對稱的啣環鋪首。胎體厚重,造型端莊大方,古樸典雅,器足內青花書“大清乾隆年制”六字三行篆書款,字體端正清秀。這是清代乾隆年間仿自古代青銅禮器尊製作而成。清代康熙至乾隆時期,尤其是乾隆朝,宮廷追求上古的青銅禮器,並在景德鎮御窯廠燒造這類器型的大量瓷質禮器,樣式多是取自皇宮,遂成為這一時期御用瓷器的重要特徵之一。來源:康涅狄格州 Vallin Gallery 舊藏
