Condition

As visible in the catalogue photo, there are several old vertical age cracks to the surface. These are stable, and have not extended or deepened since the Hong Kong Museum of art publication in 1978, where they appear the same. There are natural crevices to the interior, and a 0.8cm crevice to the exterior visible to the left of the phoenix. Other minor surface wear and minute chips to the inside of the foot.

拍品資料及來源

為匠者,別具奇思,取人面竹材,遇材而製,工隨其形,形助其工,所成之品,大有渾然天成之勢。此類藝風,古已見之,有竹雕名家濮仲謙,金陵人士,尤善此技。據明文《陶庵夢憶》中記,「又必用竹之盤根錯節,以不事刀斧為奇,則是經其手略刮磨之,而遂得重價」,詳見關善明,《虛心傲節·明清竹刻史話》,香港中文大學文物館,香港,2000年,頁246。同門技法,亦見旁類,可參考一黃楊木雕仿竹筆筒,錄東方陶瓷學會展覽《文玩萃珍》,馮平山博物館,香港,1986年,圖版34。
