白玉質，瑩潤通透，膩如瓊脂。器分蓋與壺身，子母口相 合。橢圓形蓋隆起，頂設桃形捉鈕，蓋面刻飾如意雲紋。壺 身長方形，一面雕童子逗弄雞群，凸出的岩塊上公雞矗立， 羽毛蓬鬆華美。母雞於草地低首啄食，另隻公雞回首望向高 舉木棍童子，姿態活潑生動；畫面延伸至背面，芭蕉樹三五 成簇，樹下母雞回首佇足，留白處陽刻行書詩文，詩文出自 宋代釋智圓〈雞〉，字體結體嚴謹，運筆流暢。壺流線條柔 弧簡練，另側壺把雕有葉形裝飾，曲線優美流暢。下承橢圓 形圈足。整體玉質豐美晶透，雕工俐落，詩文與圖樣相映， 構成詩書畫三絕合一之玉雕佳品。

玉壺在漢代是王公貴族的奢侈品，宋代以前多作為酒器。至 明代，飲茶方式產生變化，開始直接以壺泡茶葉，使茶具產 生改變，玉執壺數量增多，且或受瓷製茶壺影響，造型及紋 飾多樣。然玉壺更大程度是代表人們心中一種美好寄託，較 常用作陳設賞玩之用。

清代宮廷以飲茶品茗為雅尚，據清人記述：「上自朝廷燕享， 下至接見賓客，皆先之以茶，品在酒醴之上。」據清宮檔案 記載，雍正年間已有玉壺的製作，至乾隆時期，玉壺的製作 數量增多，亦有帶柄執壺的記載，然製作玉壺對材料的要求 極高，掏膛工藝複雜，相比其他器形，玉壺數量仍屬稀少。 北京故宮博物院庋藏清中期〈和闐青玉花蝶執壺〉， 與本品皆取美玉雕琢，並琢刻雅致紋飾，然與之相比，本件 茶壺玉質淨潔光亮，精工巧製，詩書畫三絕之巧妙搭配，略 勝一籌。
