描述
masterfully carved in the form of two tall conjoined vases with angled shoulders and waisted necks, the larger vase set with four loop handles, their round bodies wreathed by gnarled branches of lingzhi rising from jagged rocks and volutes of clouds around the base, and further flanked on the side by a large chilong and a smaller one, each detailed with raised head, a powerful writhing body, curling mane and bifid tail, the larger beast clenching a sprig of lingzhi in its teeth, the beautifully selected stone meticulously worked through its variously coloured strata from a deep purple tone at the base to a bright emerald-green on the rim, divided by a thin layer of silvery-white in the centre

拍品資料及來源
此碧璽器，雙色嬌艷，亮華清透，瓶身精雕巧琢，與雙瓶素淨形象巧成對比。此類碧綠粉紅雙色碧璽石，稱為西瓜碧璽，風行於乾隆一朝。清代以前雖已有碧璽輸入，直至乾隆二十四年（1759），大清攻克突厥後，始為盛行。此類國土擴張，與外通商交流等史事，往往對於中國礦石雕刻藝術，有極大之促進作用。各式礦石供應之增長，如長江流域之水晶瑪瑙、緬產翡翠、阿富汗產青金石、新疆碧璽及和闐玉等，加上技藝發展以及宮廷積極參與，促成無數精美雕作。
清代石雕可大略分三類：配飾如珠寶、日常用器如文房用物、裝飾擺件如人物雕像。題材常見吉祥寓意如長壽多子。此品上飾螭龍銜芝，意喻權力、長壽。可相比較之例，有一粉碧璽花樹紋雙聯瓶，售於倫敦佳士得1979年12月12日，編號114。可見另一西瓜碧璽帶鈎作例，售於香港蘇富比2009年10月8日，編號1803。
