摘要
在英国王室珍藏(The Royal Collection)收藏的中国瓷器有着近五百年的历史,这其中既包括外销瓷,也包括赏赉瓷器,而最难得瓷器珍品则是乾隆皇帝与慈禧太后赠送给英国君王的外交礼品用瓷。通过对英国王室珍藏初步的观察与判断,可以看出其反映了清代中英外交与贸易关系的变化,侧面反映了十八之十九世纪清朝由盛转衰的历史。
The beginning of these Chinese ceramics housed in the Royal Collection of the UK could be traced back to 500 years ago. These collections are majorly consisted of traded ceramics and tribute porcelains. Among them, a group of the finest treasures is the diplomatic gifts that separately sent from the Emperor Qianlong to the King George III and from the Empress Dowager Cixi to the Queen Victoria. As an initial study on this theme, this paper attempts to divide this long history into five periods according to the historical changes of diplomacy and trade between China and the UK. To some extent, these five periods might be able to indicate the Qing dynastic decadence from the 18th to 19th centuries.
