Condition
The carving is in overall good condition. The tip of the mountain is slightly abrasive, suggesting it may have been polished to conceal an earlier nick. There are also insignificant nibbles and bruises to the fragile extremities as expected with age, as well as areas of pitting, particularly to the russet skin.

拍品資料及來源
此玉山,浮雕富於層次,構圖繁密入微,山水靈秀生動,乃上乘佳作。所見仙人仰眺崖壁,水簾掛懸,飛流直下,融於浪濤。巧匠依玉材天然紋理雕琢,化瑕為瑜,紋路游走峭隙岩間,相得益彰。瑞鶴成雙,寓意長壽延年。整件玉山物盡其材,金黃玉皮、灰白斑紋,皆巧雕入畫。
乾隆帝好以玉屏、玉山雕歷代名家畫作。據載,皇帝曾命玉匠以其御藏古畫為本,琢於玉石,如五代山水大家關仝(907-960)之《關山行旅圖》。該作山石深雕,意趣空靈,使觀者身臨其境,藉以跳脫宮墻生活之束縛。
相類之帶黃褐色皮玉山子,可參考台北國立故宮博物院藏品,展於《宮廷之雅:清代仿古及畫意玉器特展》,台北,1997年,編號47。另見二例,其一載於 Roger Keverne,《Jade》,倫敦,1991年,圖版117,另一售於倫敦佳士得1996年12月16日,編號151。
伴隨乾隆平定西北疆域,大量玉料得以由和闐、葉爾羌等玉源地向朝廷進獻。清宮造辦處選其中上乘玉料,送往蘇州、兩淮及長蘆鹽政之玉作坊加以雕琢。蘇州閶門外專諸巷,為十八世紀治玉中心,其玉匠以因材施藝、巧思玉形、妙用皮色著稱。時朝廷定期經由蘇州織造,製作大量玉雕,本品或為其中一件。
