拍品描述

英文品名：A MING BRONZE PEAR-SHAPED VASE WITH TWIN-DRAGON HANDLES AND TAOTIE BANDS 尺寸：H:28.5cm 此瓶為銅鑄，作玉壺春式：長頸，垂腹，矮圈足。頸兩側對出雙龍首銜環耳，龍首雕鏤精細。頸部飾一週獸面雲雷紋帶，以回紋、雷紋為地。通體光素，銅色黑褐溫潤，包漿古厚。為明代銅瓶。銅花瓶與銅香爐同，為書齋清供之要。玉壺春式瓶本出宋代磁州窯、景德鎮窯，細長頸、碩腹，宜插長枝梅。頸間獸面雲雷紋帶，本商周青銅禮器紋飾，取威嚴鎮攝、博古通今之意。龍首銜環耳取法青銅壺，既便提執，亦顯端莊。 This bronze pear-shaped vase (yuhuchunping) has a slender neck, sloping body and low foot. Two dragon-head ring handles flank the neck, the heads finely chased. A taotie and thunder-pattern band, on a key-fret ground, decorates the neck. The rest is plain, the bronze black-brown and mellow. It is a Ming bronze vase. Bronze flower vases, like censers, were key desk furnishings. The yuhuchun form comes from Song Cizhou and Jingdezhen wares: long neck, pear body, suited to long plum branches. The taotie and thunder-pattern band on the neck, once the decor of Zhou ritual vessels, carries an air of solemn erudition. Dragon-head ring handles follow the form of bronze hu, aiding grip and lending dignity.
