專家說明

The superb quality of the carving, which captures the irregular shape of the fruit, exemplifies the high level of craftsmanship achieved by the jade carvers working under the reign of the Qianlong Emperor.

According to Terese Tse Bartholomew in Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, 2006, p. 270, no. 10.2.7, the quince (tiegang haitang) is a pun for "sea" (hai) and "hall" (tang), which refers to a family's house.
