The French Quest for Chinese Enamels: New Perspectives on Chinese Enamelling in the 19th Century from the Archives of the Manufacture de Sèvres

法國對中國琺瑯的追求:以塞弗爾工廠檔案為參考

Résumé

At the beginning of the 18th century, François Xavier Dentrecolles, a French missionary, provided unique insights into the porcelain industry in Jingdezhen, China. The letters he wrote at that time became the most frequently-used references in the Western world. To this day, his writings are frequently consulted by scholars in order to understand the terminology, use, and techniques of enamelling during the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods of the Qing dynasty. About a century later, the French ceramics factory of Sèvres sent its agents on field trips to China in an attempt to understand and emulate the techniques of the Chinese porcelain industry. From the 1840s onwards, the factory collected a great deal of material and knowledge about enamelling, and also carried out the first laboratory analyses. The study of the specimens collected at the factory and of the records of these expeditions has yielded much new knowledge about the techniques and the circulation of enamels in China. This paper examines how the archives of the Sèvres factory can provide new reference material on the use of enamels in Guangzhou and Jingdezhen.
在十八世紀初,法國傳教士殷弘緒François Xavier d’Entrecolles 提供了對中國景德鎮製造瓷器工業的獨特見證。他當時寫的信件在西方世界變成最常被應用的參考知識。到目前爲止,學者也經常使用他的寫作來理解清代康熙、雍正時期琺琅料的用詞,使用,技術等等。大約一個世紀後,法國的塞弗爾陶瓷工廠不斷地派員到中國進行田野考察,試圖理解並模仿中國瓷業技術。從1840年代開始,該廠收集了很多跟畫琺瑯有關的材料、知識,而且也進行首次化驗分析。透過塞弗爾工廠收集的標本和考察活動記載的分析,可得知不少關於中國琺瑯技術和流傳的新知識。該文章分析塞弗爾工廠的檔案如何可提供有關廣州與景德鎮使用琺瑯料的新參考文獻。
