时代:清: 公元18世纪 说明:象驼宝瓶瓷塑。大象四足直立，侧首回视，双眼微睁，鼻子上卷，两侧突出长牙，双耳下垂，尾巴前拍。背部披挂一元宝形鞍，顶置出戟瓷尊，下垂厚长锦缎，彩绘如意、吉罄、蝙蝠、波涛和缨络、连珠纹等。象身施灰棕色釉，局部加饰深色毫毛。四足底端无釉露胎。出戟瓷尊以湖绿釉为地，彩绘红绿番莲纹，边戟涂金。整件作品无款，但器形与纹饰透露出产制于乾隆朝的可能性。鞍锦纹样有寿山福海、吉庆有余的象征，大象和宝瓶共组「太平有象」，系属官样造型。除了瓷胎之外，亦有铜胎掐丝珐琅制品，均成对陈设。 This object takes the form of an elephant with a vase on its back. The elephant stands straight with its head turned back and eyes partially closed. Its trunk is curled upward with tusks on either side. On its back is a saddle in the shape of a Chinese-style bullion, on which is a vase. A brocaded silk is draped on either side and decorated with "ruyi," chime, bat, wave, and jewel-and-pearl motifs. The elephant's skin is represented using grayish-brown glaze with dark areas to indicate hair. The vase is covered with lake-green glaze and painted with red and green winding lotuses also featuring outlines of gold. The piece has no reign mark, but the shape and decoration suggest the period of production as the Qianlong reign (1736-1795). The decoration of the saddle brocade symbolizes the mountains of longevity in seas of prosperity, chimes of auspiciousness for plenty, and times of peace. All are homonyms in Chinese for "phenomena of peace." In addition to porcelain examples, such as this, there are also cloisonne ones as well. 款识: 参考:《华夏艺术中的自然观 : 唐奖故宫文物选萃特展》刘芳如主编国立故宫博物院2016/09
