來源：樂藏居收藏
瓶取整料白玉雕製而成，玉質細潤，寶光瑩瑩。直口，長頸，溜肩，扁圓腹，腹下 漸收，下承橢圓形高圈足。整器形制碩大，長頸施以高浮雕及透雕技法，蟠龍神態 威猛作趕珠貌。龍首顙頂圓凸，雙眼圓睜，額上雙角似鹿，鬃毛後揚細如遊絲，龍 鱗滿布於身，肌肉飽滿健壯，五爪勁健有力，威武雄健，彰顯飛龍在天之磅礡氣 勢。腹採剔地淺浮雕技法，兩面紋飾相同，分三層連續式波曲，內層波曲線飾雙夔 龍勾連一體，首相背，勾喙、圓眼，雙身勾連成方形，復古神秘；中層蜿蜒波形， 以分叉尾創造動態效果；外層則以龍首為波形輪廓端點，尾以回勾弧圓變化線條， 巧妙應合，極盡古雅。此種構圖產生極強視覺張力，加上整體波形的波長較長， 身形因而如同波浪向上展延。北京故宮博物院庋藏清中期〈和闐玉龍戲珠瓶〉（圖 一），裝飾概念與本品相似，然與之相比，本件長頸瓶腹部曲弧勾勒浮凸紋飾，增 加龍身立體效果，與白玉的純凈相輔相成，圓滑曲線張力的技巧，猶如東漢蔡邕 〈彈棋賦〉：「風飄波動，若飛若浮，不遲不疾，如行如留。」優美線條韻律搭配 威嚴五爪祥龍裝飾，象徵皇權崇高地位。

早在中國文明曙光時代，就以龍作為高貴神聖圖騰，其地位特殊。如《禮記．禮 運》：「麟、鳳、龜、龍，謂之四靈。」饒炯注:「龍之為物，變化無端，說解因著 其靈異如此，以能升天，神其物，而命之曰靈。」龍不僅是通天徹地的靈物，還是至 高權威的象徵。漢代司馬遷《史記》：「高祖為人，隆準而龍顏。」清代更在各類宮 廷御用藝術品廣泛使用龍紋，致力於塑造帝王之正統性與無上皇權。龍成為御用藝術 品重要紋樣，為宮廷器物最尊貴之裝飾主題。在清盛世玉器中，龍戲珠瓶占有一定比 例，其造型、體積、玉質及器物上的圖案也多有變化。如北京故宮博物院庋藏清中期 〈和闐玉龍戲珠瓶〉、清乾隆〈和闐玉蟠龍戲珠貫耳瓶〉及本件清 乾隆〈白玉蟠龍紋長頸瓶〉，三者構圖氣韻生動，祥龍呈飛躍盤旋之勢，猶如飛龍在 天，雄奇莫測，皆體現皇室之尊榮象徵。

本瓶形制規整，秀氣端莊，祥龍形態威武。拍場相似之例可見拍賣於中貿聖佳2009 年10月19日，編號1874，清中期〈白玉雕螭龍戲珠觀音瓶〉，同以精雕龍 紋為主題，可資比對。然細審本品，蟠龍身軀肌肉、脊椎、鱗片等細節紋理更是刻劃 精細，姿態奔騰，予人疾馳勇猛的視覺感，顯出皇家雍容之態。
