A LARGE AND RARE CHINESE IMPERIAL CELADON JADE DATED BI DISC INSCRIBED QIAN LONG JI YOU, CORRESPONDING TO THE YEAR 1789 In Western Han dynasty style, carved in shallow relief to each side with rows of studs, encircled by a band to the rim containing taotie masks divided by pairs of stylized phoenix, the flattened edge with an extensive inscription including the seals Gu xiang and Tai pu, 22.8cm. Provenance: a private collection in the south of France. Cf. Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum, Jade 8, Qing Dynasty, pp.62-3, no.34, where a closely related bi is illustrated. The inscription translates loosely as ‘this beautiful gift from Hetian, wholesome, soft and warm, was immersed in fertile soil which enriched its beauty. Carved in the traditional methods of craftsmanship, I [the Emperor Qianlong] ordered the sculptor to carve it as an archaistic bi disc. The objective was not to remain accurate with the proportions of the carving, but to maximize the beauty of the jade’. 清乾隆 青白玉雕獸面鳳鳥紋御製詩璧銘文： 良質和闐貢，巨材周尺贏。全含水以潤，間沁土之精。早厭俗工巧，命為古璧呈。不教拘肉好，恐惜捐瑤瓊。乾隆己酉仲春御題。（1789）印文：古香、太璞 來源：法國南部私人收藏青白色玉質，器體兩側各有深褐色瑕斑，體扁圓形，中有圓孔，兩面飾紋相同。孔邊及外沿各有陽刻弦紋一周，并以另一弦紋相隔為兩區。內區淺浮雕殼紋，外圈雕四組一首雙身獸面鳳鳥紋。來自法國南部的私人藏家的此件玉璧傳承有序，雕工精湛，并刻乾隆御製詩一首。璧是一种圆板形、片状、中部有孔的玉器，《说文》释璧：“瑞玉，圆器也。”《尔雅》有“肉倍好谓之璧”的说法。肉即边，好即孔，边为孔径的两倍便是璧。《爾雅》曰：璧大六寸謂之瑄，肉倍好謂之璧，好倍肉謂之瑗，肉好若一謂之環。但乾隆下令製作这件璧的时候特别嘱咐工匠不必拘泥于‘肉’于‘孔’2比1的比例，因为怕浪費了這塊從和闐進貢的难得的美玉。自宋徽宗時起，復古的藝術鑒賞觀念就已經成為主流，各地仿古之風尤勝。以歐陽修為首的文人臣子紛紛投入古物目錄的編纂，對其進行了系統整理并繪圖。這種好古的觀念一直帶動著後代模仿古物的潮流然後。此件玉璧仿漢代玉璧而製，乾隆皇帝也繼承了這種追慕淳樸古風的潮流，據《清高宗御製詩集全集》中記載乾隆排斥俗匠製作‘新樣’‘時樣’，認為如此做法有傷美玉，甚至直指其為‘玉厄’。他更傾向於‘復古’‘仿古’的製作方式，認為‘漸欲引之古，庶其返以初’，尋求一種樸素、高壓、有含義的典雅風格。詳見《清高宗御製詩文全集》，國立故宮博物院，台北，1976年。這種形式的玉璧，既用於禮儀和喪葬，也作人身配飾和和鑲嵌、餽贈等用途。這種用於祭奠的玉璧可以一路尋淵追溯至西周之前基本沒有任何紋飾，始於戰國，西漢前期做工最精，數量最多，漢中期以後逐漸減少。乾隆二十四年（1759年）平定新疆準格爾部和回部動亂之后，解決了長期阻礙玉器發展的原料問題，和闐玉開始大量進貢京城。加上乾隆皇帝耳提面命、精益求精的仿古熱情，宮廷玉器生產出現了繁榮的局面。此件玉璧的御製詩作於乾隆五十四年，正是良玉美材充沛，工匠技術純熟之時。與此件拍品類似的沒有銘文的玉璧可以在《故宮博物院藏品大系：玉器編8》，紫荊城出版社，2011，圖版34。
A FINE AND RARE PAIR OF CHINESE IMPERIAL PALE CELADON JADE MODELS OF JARDINIERES QIANLONG 1736-95 The flaring bodies raised on three short feet, each jardinière issuing a gilt metal blossoming spray, one of prunus, the flowers in white jade, coral and enamel, the other peach, its flowers and leaves in agate and hardstone, with smaller petals in kingfisher feather, each with a small bird perched in its branches, its body adorned with kingfisher feathers. At the bases, rockwork, flowering rohdea, narcissus, nandina (the holy bamboo) and lingzhi fungi are depicted in lapis lazuli, red coral, amber and spinach-green jade, the jardinières each raised on an elaborately carved reticulated five-legged zitan stand, paper labels for John Sparks Ltd., 32.5cm and 31cm respectively, 39cm and 37.5cm overall. Provenance: property of a distinguished private collection, purchased from John Sparks Ltd. Cf. Classics of the Forbidden City, Architecture and Decoration of the Forbidden City, p.189, no.155 where cloisonné and jade examples in the Chu Xiu Gong palace can be seen; see also Imperial Furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, p.249, no.287, where a pair of larger jade jardinières are illustrated; and The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Treasures of Imperial Court, pp.34-49 for further of related pieces. 清乾隆 御製青白玉鎏金銅百寶齊眉祝壽盆景 一對来源：英國重要私人收藏，購於John Sparks Ltd.由盆和景兩部分組成，花盆青白玉製，半透明，瑩潤光亮，通體光素。淺膛，如意足。其一以翠玉雕葉的桃花花心為鎏金累絲嵌點翠羽毛，喜鵲坐枝頭。另一景以白玉雕梅花為主，襯以天竺果及山石構成‘齊眉祝壽’美好寓意。盆景是宮廷中常見的陳設，尤其是在節日，除擺設鮮花外，殿里要添擺各式珍貴的盆景。清代養心殿造辦處的‘玉作’‘雜活作’‘牙作’‘累絲作’‘鋄金作’合製的盆景，有許多從設計、選料、製造上說都堪稱是上乘的精品。這些盆景是雍正年以來，造辦處特有的。造辦處主要的總設計人是從內務府員外郎出身後來做到內大臣的海望。據記載製造盆景的名手是在造辦處當差的蘇州能人施天章，詳見《故宮經典：故宮珍寶》，紫荊城出版社，2007，編號60。當然每個製作環節還有許多的設計者，同時也是作者。造辦處所製盆景或瓶花，章法是畫意的經營，色調是顯示其選料的質美。譬如此件拍品的其中一件花盆中的梅花，以鎏金銅作樹幹，白玉作花瓣綴以珊瑚小珠做花蕾，寒冬臘梅的特色表現無疑，工藝上乘，是清宮盆景工藝中的珍品。可參考一件藏於儲秀宮的以銅胎掐絲琺瑯為盆的盆景，見《故宮經典：故宮建築內檐裝修》，紫荊城出版社，2007，圖版155。一對成列于北京故宮博物館的翡翠鎏金銅盆景可資比較，見《故宮經典：明清宮廷家具》，紫荊城出版社，2007，編號287.
