Lot Overview

瓶以整塊優質碧玉精工雕製,玉色深綠之質如碧潭春色,典雅沉穩。內掏膛規整,外呈扁圓形體,橢圓形口,束頸斜肩,大小兩瓶作腹、肩部雙聯式,鼓腹,下腹略內收,下承橢圓形圈足。口、頸、肩及足均光素無紋,腹壁近肩線處皆隱起兩道寬帶紋,寬帶紋內均飾勾連雲紋,以流暢陰刻線相互勾連,體現雲紋向圖案化發展之形式,再與不同龍形相互組合,為淸代仿古玉雕既有特徵。腰際兩器相接處高浮雕螭龍,雙目圓睜,炯炯有神,眉鬚側展,體近S形,氣勢威武。尾部分歧,作向前穿雲姿態,飽滿有力,線條剛柔相濟,淸晰流暢。下部側身浮雕螭龍向上凝望,尾呈卷草狀分捲,形成優美弧線。整器以大小螭龍,隱喻「帶子上朝」之意。大瓶圈足內鐫有「乾隆年製」雙行四字篆書款。

雙聯瓶為淸代流行樣式,造型最早可追溯至新石器時代的雙聯陶壺,此種腹部黏連在一起或自口至底通體相連之形制,稱「連體瓶」或「合歡瓶」,有美滿和諧之意。淸宮舊藏,北京故宮博物院庋藏淸乾隆〈玉雙連尊〉(圖一)為淸宮御用品,造型、紋飾、製作技法與本件雙聯瓶極為相似,可資參考。尤以兩者腹、肩部雙連處均以凸雕螭龍甚為巧妙,繁複的華麗作風,代表貴族奢華生活標誌,體現身分高貴與權勢顯赫之象徵。
