《Catalogue of the Loan Collection of Paintings, and the Schoonmaker Collection of Porcelains and Cloisonné, at the Job Male Library, Art Gallery and Museum》，卷II，新澤西，1887年，編號19

Catalogue Note
This exquisite vase is rare for its creative virtuosity, combining a lavish surface decoration that was carved, glazed and then further enhanced with gilding. Whilst the technique of gilt-decorating porcelain is known from as early as the Yuan dynasty (see, for example, a stem cup in the Shanghai Museum, illustrated in Jessica Harrison Hall, Ming Ceramics in the British Museum, London, 2001, p. 54, pl. 3), it was only during the Qing dynasty that the decorative potential of gilding ceramics was fully exploited as a result of the introduction of European designs to the court by Jesuit missionaries.

No other vase of this type appears to be recorded, however a similar design is found on a larger (32cm high) gilt-decorated carved celadon-glazed ‘dragon’ vase from the Qianlong period, sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 20th May 1987, lot 489. The technique is also seen on Qianlong period wall vases, including one with peony designs, in the Huaihaitang Collection, illustrated in Ethereal Elegance. Porcelain Vases of the Imperial Qing. The Huaihaitang Collection, Art Museum, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 2007, cat. no. 81, and another with archaistic motifs framing an imperial poem in Treasures in the Royalty. The Official Kiln Porcelain of the Chinese Qing Dynasty, Shanghai, 2003, pl. 314.

瓶呈葫蘆式樣，小口，短頸，束腰，臥足，造型飽滿，端莊大氣。
葫蘆瓶通體內外滿施粉青釉，釉面勻淨光澤，釉汁肥腴，釉質細膩，與玉質之瑩潤如脂殊無二致，光華內蘊，臻於純美。外壁模印淺浮雕纏枝葫蘆紋，其枝蔓疏朗有致，佈局之妙，獨見匠心。剔刻精湛細緻，富具立體感，所施粉青一色，溫潤厚腴，秀美天成，淡淡的嫩翠色，予人無限嬌美之感。外底處模印「大清乾隆年製」六字三行篆書款。此瓶端莊秀麗，繪製技法嫺熟，紋飾密而不亂，富有裝飾美感，為乾隆時期的典型器。

葫蘆在我國栽培歷史源遠流長，《詩經．邶風》云：「匏有苦葉，濟有涉深」；《幽風》云：「七月食瓜，八月斷壺」；《小雅》云：「南有木，甘瓠累之」。其中的「匏」、「壺」、「甘瓠」均指葫蘆。除實用功效外，葫蘆因其獨有的外型與特性，又被先人賦予了許多美好寓意：葫蘆，因型似「吉」字，讀音似「福祿」，又多籽，故自古以來便承載起人們希望吉祥如意、福祿雙全、多子多孫的美好心願。乾隆時期國力空前強盛，經濟高度繁榮，祈禱吉祥富足也因此成了當時社會藝術的主流，以葫蘆為題材的各式宮廷陳設亦應運而生，即為這一時期下的產物。

葫蘆器形象徵多產多福，繁葉枝藤及帶斑葫蘆圖紋，更強調其吉祥寓意。葫蘆之圓潤體態，子核豐富，使其自然成為多產多子之象徵。細長瓜藤更代表子嗣綿延無盡，代表子孫萬代。葫蘆乃八仙之一李鐵拐之法寶，是以葫蘆亦與道教密不可分。參考數例，日本川崎家族收藏清乾隆琺瑯嵌玉大吉葫蘆瓶，售於北京保利，2009年11月24日，編號3274。此瓶為一件宮廷節慶之時的陳設器物，取葫蘆形，集玉作、琺瑯作、木作等造辦處百工諸技於一身的精品，體型碩大，工藝講究。英國亞瑟王子舊藏，清乾隆銅胎掐絲琺瑯「子孫萬代」圖葫蘆瓶一對，售於香港蘇富比，2012年10月9日，編號3031。此器取葫蘆形，上作葫蘆枝藤，通體以各色琺瑯料填入，飾以繁葉枝藤，白花綠葉，瓜果纍纍，寓意甚佳。

另見一例，Patricia Kluge收藏清乾隆御製銅鎏金轉花轉水法大吉葫蘆鐘，售於北京保利，2011年6月5日，編號7232。此鐘為明末清初時期中西文化交匯的重要佐證，當時西方傳教士到中國傳教，傳教士利瑪竇、羅堅明等人為了向皇帝獻禮，特意揉合中國傳統題材，使用大吉葫蘆紋飾於來自西方發明的自鳴鐘上。此鐘上方飾銅鎏金嵌寶石大吉葫蘆，腹部中間的各式轉花。隨著報時報刻的音樂響起，葫蘆上的轉花亦在樂曲中悠然旋轉，令人目不暇接。

葫蘆無疑可列入中華文明最常見的吉祥形象，有其多方面原因。葫蘆多子，一棵葫蘆可長出近百小葫蘆，有「葫蘆百子」之稱，象徵後代繁衍。兼因瓜瓞虅蔓相纏，「蔓帶」諧音萬代，有瓜瓞綿綿，子孫萬代之意。葫蘆諧音福祿，其外形似吉字，葫蘆瓶又有「大吉瓶」之稱。道家認為葫蘆內另有天地，是神仙洞府之所在，把理想的仙境稱為「壺天」，常以葫蘆象徵煉就內外丹藥的鼎爐，並視其為儲存丹藥的理想器皿，葫蘆自然成為道家法器。八仙中鐵拐李以葫蘆作藥壺，懸壺濟世；葫蘆的各種法力人所共知,《西遊記》中也有所體現。佛塔頂部的塔剎，多有葫蘆形，佛教盛放舍利子的容器，也見葫蘆瓶。

從宮廷到民間，葫蘆被視為求吉護身、闢邪祛祟的法寶。清代《雍正道裝雙圓一氣圖》中，雍正皇帝身著道裝與道士交談，其前方即為一葫蘆，仙氣繚繞。歷代以葫蘆為造型或裝飾的器物極多，到清代葫蘆題材在皇家壽誕等慶典中更是必不可少，瓷、玉、銅胎琺瑯葫蘆瓶上裝飾葫蘆紋的也並不少見。就以陶瓷而言，從新石器時代到清代至今，遍佈中國各地的名窯，多有製作陶瓷葫蘆瓶。嘉靖皇帝好黃老之道，葫蘆瓶尤為盛行，嘉靖26年（1547）景德鎮供禦宮廷的瓷器中，就包括「青花白瓷葫蘆一萬」。

參考香港私人收藏，清乾隆粉青釉浮雕「子孫萬代」圖葫蘆瓶一對，曾展出於敏求精舍展覽，著錄於《明清一色釉瓷》，香港藝術博物館，香港，1977年，編號76。本品之原型，可參考William Cleverley Alexander (1840-1916)收藏，元代青花纏枝「福祿萬代」大葫蘆瓶(「亞歷山大瓶」)，後售於北京保利，2018年6月19日，編號5141。本品甚為罕見，綜觀各大公私收藏機構所藏，參考之例不多。另見清宮舊藏，清乾隆青花蝙蝠紋葫蘆瓶，錄於《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集．青花釉裏紅（下）》，香港，2000年，圖版129。

遠觀雖然一色，但其上實有微妙變化，例如折角處、花紋轉折處均有深淺色差，但又極富有「秩序感」，這些都是單色釉的魅力所在。「青釉」在中國陶瓷發展史佔有重要地位，尤其是宋代青瓷影響後世近千年，其中以官、汝、龍泉窯燒製最為出色，他們同時又追求玉質感，更是宋代美學的基調。這類器物成為元、明兩朝鑒賞家收藏目標，也是清代皇帝的珍愛。

拍品專文
Longquan vases of this form, undoubtedly inspired by contemporaneous metal ware, are exceptionally rare. The Palace Museum in Beijing has a very similar vase, illustrated in Ceramics Galleries of the Palace Museum, Part II, Beijing, 2008, p. 373, pl. 290. Another smaller vase without the moulded decoration is in the British Museum, illustrated by J. Harrison-Hall in Ming Ceramics in the British Museum, London, 2001, p. 474, pl.16:33 where the author mentions the unusual roll-up mouth with bosses might have taken its inspiration from the Tibetan brass and copper ewers. Another example with a carved rather than moulded primary decorative band was sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 29 May 2007, lot 1472.

The application of sprig-moulded ornaments on Longquan celadons developed during the Yuan dyansty. This technique involved the manufacture of separate ornaments in open moulds and then applied to the clay body before glazing and firing. Incising and moulding in relief were the most common techniques used individually or in combination as seen on the present lot.
