641 清 黃玉螭龍靈芝杯
H17.5cm

黃玉質，潤澤光瑩，局部帶有褐色沁。杯體雕作靈芝形口，深長腹下收。內部掏膛 深邃，打磨細膩平滑。外壁圓雕、鏤雕、高浮雕靈芝從器底生長，枝幹順勢向上， 大小交互掩映，層次分明，構成九朵靈芝，寓意「九九如意」、「久久長壽」。一側有 螭龍攀附口沿，螭龍雙角後仰，身姿修長，四肢飽滿健壯，尾細長分岔捲曲，寓以 「祥龍獻瑞」。整體雕工簡潔明快，層次分明，靈芝表面凹凸起伏質感刻劃自然，栩 栩如生，巧奪天工。

靈芝生於深山枯樹，數量稀少珍貴，自古被奉為祥瑞仙物，認為服之可「益壽延 年」，甚至能羽化成仙；《漢武內傳》：「芝草食之使人眉壽慶世，蓋仙人所食。」北京 故宮博物院庋藏清〈青玉靈芝花插〉，與本品同以靈芝為設計主題，賦予作品 長壽吉祥、事事如意之意涵，然本品取黃玉雕琢，質地潤透之美更勝一籌。

明代高濂《遵生八箋》描述黃玉：「玉以甘黃為上，羊脂次之；黃為中色，且不易得， 以白為偏色，時亦有之，故而令人賤黃而貴白，以見少也。」可見黃玉被視為珍貴 玉材。本品以九朵靈芝為題，採多種技法並施，刀工緊湊，工藝高超。構圖相互輝 映，裝飾意韻深遠，造型充滿動感，顯出皇家雍容華貴之態，是寄予美好祝福的文 房陳設雅品。
