明 銅回紋三足鼎式爐

拍品描述

英文品名：A BRONZE TRIPOD DING CENSER WITH KEY-FRET NECK BAND, MING DYNASTY 尺寸：H:23.5cm 此爐為銅鑄，作鼎式，雙立耳直立於口沿，頸部飾一週回紋帶，腹部豐碩素面，下承三直柱足。銅色棗紅皮殼，包漿瑩潤古厚，造型端穩莊重。為文房清供之器。香爐之設，源於先秦青銅鼎彝，原為禮器；宋以後文房焚香漸盛，銅爐遂與茶、香、花並列「文人四藝」。鼎式爐取商周鼎之制：立耳、鼓腹、柱足，置於几案，中置香餅或線香，旁設香盒、香箸、香鏟。明代銅爐以精銅溫潤、皮色暖雅著稱，鼎式、奩式、缽式、桶式並興，皆為書齋清供。 This bronze tripod ding censer has two upright rectangular handles on the rim, a key-fret band around the neck, a plain rounded body, and three straight cylindrical legs. The bronze carries a rich date-red patina with a lustrous surface. The overall form is dignified and well-proportioned, representing a classic Ming-dynasty bronze censer for the scholar's desk. Incense burners descend from ritual bronze ding of high antiquity; after the Song, scholar's studios adopted them, and incense joined tea, flowers and the refinements of the studio. The tripod-ding censer takes the form of ancient ding: upright handles, rounded body, columnar legs. It sat on a desk holding incense cakes or sticks, accompanied by paste box, tweezers and shovel. Ming bronzes were prized for their fine alloy and warm, date-red patina; ding, lian, bowl and cylindrical forms all flourished as studio furnishings.
