Qing Dynasty period. The vase is finely enamelled with lotus sprays reserved on green ground around the body, the waisted neck flanked by pair of openwork handles decorated in gilt paint, all supported by three kneeled boys, their clothes and facial features finely detailed, all raised on red glazed stand painted with floral scrolls, the underside bearing a six character Qianlong reign mark.

此類瓷瓶，燒製工藝繁複，不論題材，均極為罕稀。清宮檔案雖指高宗曾下旨燒造相類瓷瓶逾五十，但傳世塑貼嬰戲彩瓷更是寥寥可數，且多飾童子攀瓶，底有圈足方便燒造，不必如此支燒，製作相較略簡。據清文件記載，乾隆二十年（1755 年）四月二十六日曾傳旨：「著唐英照從前燒造過三子、五子瓶，並今日所進的瓶等樣款，燒造五十件，要趕七月初一日送到，賞人用。欽此。」此器塑貼三童半蹲、手上托，臉雖朝外，同心共協，獻送寶瓶， 姿態不禁讓人遙想戰國人形器足或唐朝佛教力士。整體比例佈局，雅緻大方，盡顯心思。上部松綠地西番蓮小瓶，雙耳摹古，頸肩華飾，精緻入微，不亞洋彩鉅作。中下部塑貼三子，頭束雙髻，眉清目秀，臉頰飽滿，身穿華衣，袍服圖案各異，粉紅的是牡丹、淡綠的是瑞果、淺藍的是小花，以顏色不同的褲子搭配，醒目鮮明。加添仿漆器描金蓮紋座，工藝之精，讓人嘆為觀止，整體人物表現細膩生動，佈局合理，器型大方、穩重，童子呼應和諧、相映成趣、妙不可言。底部描金書“大清乾隆年制”款識。 （配木盒） 來源：南加州聖地亞哥藏家收藏 。類似浮雕三童子瓶，可參考紐約蘇富比2008年3月拍品號117，成交價361,000 USD
