MING DYNASTY, EARLY 17TH CENTURY

細節

明末犀角雕九龍雙鳳紋盃

盃撇口，斂腹，八方形高圈足。折沿處刻回紋一周。外壁雕五層紋飾，以弦紋相間。第一、二層以淺雕雙勾線刻雙龍紋，第三層刻雙鳳紋，足牆刻纏枝蓮紋，上飾回紋一周。杯鋬以鏤雕五條螭龍組成，姿態多變，曲線玲瓏，相互糾纏。

此器以雙勾技法雕琢紋飾，工藝高超，細緻嚴謹，頗有明朝宮廷作品的風格，實為難得的佳作。

此器於香港藝術館2002至2005年間舉辦《金木水火土：香港文物收藏精品展》中展出。

拍品專文

The combination of archaistic decoration and numerous high relief chilong appears to have been popular with carvers of rhinoceros horn cups. It is the contrast of the sinuous bodies and muscular movement of the dragons to the underlying formalised design of the archaistic bands that provides an attractive overall design most suited to complement the elegant shape of the cup.

Several cups of this type of decoration are illustrated by T. Fok, Connoisseurship of Rhinoceros Horn Carving in China, 1999, nos. 4, 9, 15, 19, 20, 22, 26 and 41. A similar archaistic cup, also with a raised base, from the Songzhutang Collection, was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, Important Chinese Rhinoceros Horn Carvings from the Songzhutang Collection, 27 May 2008, lot 1723.
