523 十八世紀 青白玉麒麟馱瓶
H15.5cm

瓶為整塊青白玉雕就，玉質潤澤細膩，局部形成白色及深淺不一之琥珀色沁，仿造出古 韻盎然之感。全器立體圓雕麒麟馱瓶。麒麟昂首挺胸，四肢粗壯有力，趾露尖爪，姿態 威猛。雙目外凸，下顎長鬚濃眉大眼，如意形鼻，方吻開闊，嘴微張露齒，頭頂雙角， 尖耳貼服脖頸，樣貌溫馴靈動。身軀肌肉飽滿，四肢服臥於地，前、後腿布滿鱗片，臀 後長尾分為三縷如火焰般上捲，極具動感和張力，鬃毛刻劃細緻，絲絲盡現。背馱寶 瓶，敞口，橢圓腹，高足，狀似觚。內部掏膛勻淨，外壁琢刻變形蕉葉紋及獸面紋，紋 飾古典樸拙。

乾隆有詩言：「和田玉來移，巧制頗如粉，漸欲引之穀，庶其返以初」，認為古器物樸 素精純，高雅而有內涵，屢屢強調玉器應向古物學習，進而促使摹古玉器的興盛。如本 件麒麟馱瓶，參考原型或出自《欽定四庫全書－西清古鑑》，周〈犠尊二〉， 然又加入創新，亦可見細膩雕琢的精緻工藝。台北國立故宮博物院庋藏清乾隆〈玉瑞獸 尊〉，可為本品類似題材作品之參考。然玉匠選無瑕玉料，以各種方法加以暈 染，做出古玉「沁色」效果，深淺得宜，順應石脈，皮色自然古樸，略勝一籌。

據《造辦處各作成做活計清檔》記載，乾隆八年，高宗交《考古圖》，命玉工按圖製 作玉器，不僅要求尺寸盡以符合原樣，玉色也須燒成舊玉之色。又乾嘉時期著名文臣 紀曉嵐在所著《閱微草堂筆記》記載：「余在烏魯木齊時見故大學士溫公有玉一片， 如掌大，可作臂擱，質理瑩白，面有紅斑四點，皆大如指頂，鮮活如花片，非血侵， 非油煉，非琥珀燙，深如腠理，而暈腳卻四散，漸遠漸淡，以至於無，蓋天成也。」 書中提及「油煉」、「琥珀燙」、「藥煉」等人工染玉法，可知與清人尚古愛沁的風 尚甚為相關。

拍場相似之例可參見拍賣於北京古天一2018年12月8日，編號1051，清〈黃玉麒麟 龍紋花觚〉，與本品皆設計瑞獸為底，其上承托玉瓶。然本件瑞獸更為立體 威猛，肌肉飽滿賁張，姿態昂揚，瑞意橫生。整體設計精巧，端莊尊貴，紋飾借鑒古 代青銅器風格及仿古出土之沁色，又具寫實之意，為清代仿古與創新相結合的玉雕陳 設經典佳作。
