拍品專文

Such ruyi sceptres are very rare and undoubtedly of imperial provenance. Elegantly cast and naturalistically modelled as a fruiting branch, the present lot is a dazzling testament to the skill of Chinese craftsmen during the Qianlong reign.
Compare the current sceptre to an identical one offered in our Hong Kong Rooms, 3 November 1998, lot 1053 and illustrated in Lin Shwu-shin, The Jade-Carving Art in The Ch'ing Dynasty, Taipei 1996, pp.128-129.
This sceptre was likely to have originally belonged to a group of three, comprising the trio of the auspicious san duo together with citrus and pomegranates. See such a set sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 22 May 1979, lot 296 ; see one sceptre with finger citrus heads sold at Sotheby's New York, 22 May 2000, lot 40 ; compare also with a sceptre with pomegranates heads sold in our London Rooms, 16 June 1986, lot 3 (this later being sold together with a peaches heads sceptre).
