拍品描述

英文品名：A QING LAPIS LAZULI CARVING OF A DOUBLE GOURD WITH BATS, ON A HARDWOOD STAND 尺寸：L:11cm 青金石雕。作葫蘆雙聯形，表面圓雕攀枝、靈芝與蝙蝠，蝙蝠伏於葫蘆之上，枝葉纏繞。石色濃藍純淨，局部含黃鐵礦金斑與白方解細點。下配硬木幾座。葫蘆諧「福祿」，綿延萬代，為清代寓意吉祥之文房擺件。葫蘆諧音「福」「祿」，其藤蔓綿延，結實繁盛，俗諺「葫蘆萬代」，喻子孫綿長、福澤流傳。蝠諧「福」，伏於葫蘆之上即「福到」。靈芝象長壽。三者合一，為清代常見吉祥語，多見於玉雕、掐絲琺瑯、織繡，宮中慶典、民間婚壽皆用。青金石古稱璆琳、金精，自漢代經西域輸入，清代為宮廷重寶，色相如天，或作朝冠頂戴。 A lapis lazuli carving of a double gourd, with climbing branches, lingzhi and bats rendered in relief over the surface, a bat resting on the gourd and vines entwining the body. The stone is of a rich pure blue, flecked with pyrite and white calcite. It is fitted with a hardwood stand. The gourd puns on fortune and emolument, symbolising blessings passed through generations. The double gourd puns on fu and lu; its trailing vines bear fruit abundantly, giving the wish of blessings passed through ten thousand generations. The bat puns on fortune, so a bat perched on a gourd means the arrival of luck; lingzhi denotes longevity. This triple rebus is a hallmark of Qing auspicious art across jade, cloisonné and textiles, used in court ceremonies and private weddings and birthdays. Lapis lazuli, known in early China as qiulin, reached the Han through the Western Regions and was treasured in the Qing court for its sky-like blue, often set into official hat finials.
