英文品名：A BRONZE GARLIC-HEAD VASE WITH TUBULAR THROUGH-HANDLES, BEARING A HUANG CHUN MARK, QING DYNASTY 尺寸：H:30cm 此瓶為銅鑄，蒜頭形口，細長頸，頸中部飾波濤紋地子一週，頸部兩側對出貫耳（戟耳）各一，耳身亦鑄波濤紋。腹碩大圓潤，素面無紋，線條柔和優美。圈足外撇，底心長方框內陰刻二字“黃春”款。銅色黃褐，包漿溫潤。為清代銅貫耳蒜頭瓶。銅花瓶為書齋陳設常用之器，插梅、插菊、供清玩。蒜頭瓶式本出宋代青瓷，細頸碩腹、口作蒜頭狀，宜插長枝梅枝；清代以銅為之，取其厚重耐久，可注水而不滲。貫耳（戟耳）之制取法青銅壺，既便於繫帶提攜，亦顯端莊。此件為素銅鑄貫耳蒜頭瓶，頸部貫耳與波濤紋皆出鑄紋，器底陰刻“黃春”二字款；銅質沉穩，古雅內斂。 This bronze vase follows the Song-dynasty garlic-head porcelain form: a bulbous garlic mouth, a slender neck decorated with a wave-pattern band and flanked by two tubular through-handles also cast with waves, and a plain rounded pear-shaped body. The foot ring is splayed; inside a rectangular cartouche at the centre of the base is incised a two-character mark, Huang Chun. The bronze has a warm yellow-brown patina. It is an elegant Qing-dynasty bronze flower vase. Bronze flower vases were standard studio display pieces, holding plum or chrysanthemum sprays. The garlic-head form derives from Song porcelain: slender neck, pear body, bulbous mouth suited to long plum branches. Qing bronzes took the form for their weight and watertightness. The tubular through-handles follow the form of bronze hu, convenient for tying cords and lending a dignified presence. This piece is a plain-cast bronze garlic-head vase whose handles and wave bands are integral cast decoration, with the two-character mark Huang Chun incised at the base; the bronze is sober and understated.
