拍品描述

英文品名：A QING PAINTED ENAMEL ON BRONZE DOUBLE-GOURD VASE WITH CRANES, PEACHES AND BATS 尺寸：H:34cm 銅胎葫蘆瓶，小口，上下兩腹。通體檸檬黃地，滿繪松枝、壽桃、牡丹與飛鶴，間以紅蝠數隻；鶴羽潔白、黑頂赤頰，翔立於桃樹間。頸部飾回紋與如意雲頭邊，束腰及下腹飾垂蕉葉紋，口沿鎏金。彩繪工緻，取「鶴壽」「福壽」之意，為清代銅胎畫琺瑯大件陳設瓶。鶴在中國傳統文化中為長壽之禽，《淮南子》載鶴壽千歲，仙人多乘鶴往來；松亦為百木之長，經冬不凋，喻長生久視。二者結合即「松鶴延年」「鶴壽遐齡」之意。又壽桃為西王母蟠桃，三千年一熟，食之長生；牡丹喻富貴。此瓶松、桃、鶴、蝠並繪，合「福」「壽」「富貴」諸願，為清代祝壽陳設常見題材。 A painted enamel on bronze double-gourd vase on a bright lemon-yellow ground, painted all over with pines, peaches, peonies and cranes in flight, interspersed with red bats. The cranes are rendered in white plumage with black and red heads, perched amid peach branches. The neck is bordered with key-fret and ruyi bands and the lower gourd with pendant plantain leaves; the mouth is gilt. Dense and refined painting expresses wishes for longevity. In Chinese tradition the crane is an emblem of longevity, said in the Huainanzi to live a thousand years, and immortals are depicted riding through the skies on cranes; the pine, evergreen through winter, likewise denotes long life. Together they form the motif of pines and cranes prolonging years. The peach alludes to the Queen Mother of the West's peaches of immortality that ripen once in three thousand years, while peony denotes wealth. Pines, peaches, cranes and bats here combine wishes for fortune and long life, a common birthday theme of the Qing.
