The baluster body is moulded with three sets of lotus foliate scrolls bands, all above a band of stiff lappets, the shoulder set with a pair of handles rising to the dragon-head terminal which bites the cup-shaped mouth, covered overall with an even glaze of soft sky blue tone thinning on the extremities, the underside inscribed with six character Yongzheng mark. Qing Dynasty period.

瓶盤口，細長頸，溜肩，腹部豐滿，至脛處漸收。頸上突起五道弦紋。口沿與肩之間有兩個對稱的龍形柄高聳直立，龍頭探進瓶口銜住口沿。徑部於肩部分別飾焦葉紋與纏枝蓮紋。外底署 “大清乾隆年制”六字雙行款。通體施天藍釉，釉色沈穆深杳，宛若廣袤深邃之天穹，又如百川可納之汪洋，真可謂“天藍藍 海天一色”。 康、雍二帝，好古慕雅，至乾隆時，仿古瓷器之盛行曠古未有。所摹名品上至唐宋，下達朱明，仿古之精後世難及。因摹而後造，因後造而融新，將今之美釉飾於千年古器之上，堪稱天作之合，聖人雅趣。乾隆禦窯幾乎神功鬼斧，窮極所能。此珍罕之雙龍尊正是慕古融新的竭力之作。瓶式源於唐朝傳瓶，端莊典雅，三彩、邢白皆有巨制，堪稱妙品。乾隆朝又賦之以新裝，雖品格雍容，雍幹獨有，亦可昭顯盛唐氣韻。天藍一色，栽化於宋柴、汝，有“雨過天青”之說，宋人孝天敬地，文品殊絕，凡事既盡其美，必有其韻，以天青為至尊至貴之色。至柴、汝之後，絕於世間，後經五百載，未遇盛世，則此色不復出矣。康熙末年，天藍復現，乃政治清明、盛世再現之征兆，嘉慶之後，天藍一色又罕矣。故而雍、幹兩朝，出現唐韻神品---天藍雙龍尊，亦非偶然。來源：溫哥華藏家提供
