Republic period. Of ovoid form, the body finely enamelled in polychrome to depict Zhong Kui the demon queller waving a fan towards flying auspicious bats, next to two boys in front, all within an outdoor garden setting, the base bears an apocryphal Qianlong mark.
小口、口沿外撇、矮短頸、豐肩、弧腹、腹部下收,平底、圈足。鍾馗,是中國傳統文化中的“賜福鎮宅聖君”。鍾馗多見凶神惡煞之相,然而本器鍾馗神態閒適,如此畫中笑臉盈盈之態,不甚多見。鍾馗赤面蓬須,身著紅衫,左手上舉呈扇,右手持握朝板,雙眼斜望遠方,遠處有蝙蝠飛舞上空,身旁兩位侍從抬頭仰望上方,接引此福,福自天降,寓意美好。整體刻畫細緻入微,神韻表現得準確生動。 “大清乾隆年制”款識。
