拍品資料及來源
Several features identify this bottle as a product of the Beijing Palace workshops. It is of modified meipingform, has a flat lip on the upper neck rim, is of inherently undistinguished material (reflecting the Qianlong emperor's love of archaism and pebble nephrite that resembled that used by the ancients), and is decorated with small, distinctive mask handles with circular rings.
This bottle has the standard, imposing sculptural qualities of so much of Palace production. Formal integrity is excellent, and the gentle curves of the main body and detailing of neck, foot, and carving are impeccable.
