明末/ 清初 犀角雕百子圖高足盃

LATE MING/EARLY QING DYNASTY, 17TH CENTURY

細節
盃撇口,深弧腹,高足外撇。外壁通景淺浮雕嬰戲圖,菱紋錦地飾庭園百子圖,童子有奏樂、舞扇、玩球、爬樹、洗浴等。近底飾一圈蓮紋,口沿、足沿環飾回紋。犀角料呈琥珀色澤,底足處顏色漸深。

庭園嬰戲的題材早於宋代已頗為流行,南宋畫家蘇漢臣尤以擅畫童子著稱,見臺北故宮博物院藏蘇漢臣作品《秋庭嬰戲圖》。宋、金時期磁州窰枕亦多飾庭園嬰戲圖。清乾隆朝以前工藝品飾百子圖不足一百之數,犀角雕因材料體積所限,雕百子圖更是少之又少。
注意事項
Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit the importation of property containing materials from endangered species, including but not limited to coral, ivory, tortoiseshell and crocodile. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should familiarize themselves with relevant customs regulations prior to bidding if they intend to import this lot into another country.

拍品專文

This is a particularly charming stem cup on which young boys are shown engaging in a wide variety of games. The theme of 'hundred boys', or baizi tu, is found on many of the Chinese decorative arts, reflecting the preoccupation with the acquisition of male offspring, and symbolising the wish 'may you have many sons'. In many occasions the children are shown at play, while some of them are also depicted engaging in scholarly pursuits, suggesting that one day they would become successful officials, as on the current stem cup.
