何朝宗

福建德化 瓷塑家

別名何來、何來觀。生卒年不詳。明代(1368~1644)瓷塑家。福建古田人。約活動於嘉靖(1522~1566)、萬曆(1573~1620)年間,是瓷塑工藝代表人物之一。早年於寺院泥塑神像,後以塑佛教和道教人物著稱,尤擅燒製佛、觀音、羅漢等像,後人譽為瓷聖。
 其作品博取泥塑、木雕和石刻造像之長,自成一格。善於表現人物個性特徵,強調神情刻劃,形態逼真,衣紋處理簡練,表現臨風飄拂的質感,胎質潔白堅實,如同脂玉。所作觀音有坐岩、騎獅、魚籃、渡海等形象,姿態各異。
 另據《泉州古物編》載:「觀音佛高一尺,趺坐,面如美男子,豐而且麗,不可多得之品也。」傳世作品以德化窯居多,有白瓷觀音菩薩像,分別藏於重慶中國三峽博物館及天津市藝術博物館;白瓷達摩像,藏北京故宮博物院;白瓷渡海觀音菩薩像,藏福建泉州海外交通史博物館。
