Qing Dynasty period. Of mirror image, each depicted recumbent with legs tucked underneath its plump body, the head turned gently to one side, with round eyes and a short beak, the plumage finely worked in detail.

此件香盒取翡翠雕刻，玉質細膩，采用圓雕、浮雕、陰刻多種技法雕刻一對鵪鶉，大小形態有細微變化，意為雌雄一對，非常巧妙，鵪鶉目視前方，雙翅收攏貼服身軀兩側，羽毛層層叠叠。頭部、身體、翅膀陰刻大小不同的羽毛，分毫畢現，細如发絲，頗為寫實。蓋身子母口，嚴絲合縫，內部掏膛精準，器壁纖薄通透。鵪鶉在清代常作為玉雕題材，鵪鶉有平安的寓意，取字諧音，鵪意為平安，盒取合美之意，意為合合美美、平平安安。來源：加拿大溫哥華私人藏家收藏
