此對插屏不惜用料,采用碩大的上等和田碧玉制成,制工繁縟,玉質致密溫潤,清亮瑩潤,色如翡翠,略有透明感,有和田碧玉特有的墨色斑點,給人以厚重之感,拋光完美,充分展現了皇家制器尋常難以企及之恢弘精湛,令人瞠目。插屏器形周正巧妙,正反面運用了圓雕、深淺浮雕、等多種技法,雕工精美絕倫。正面雕琢“鵪鶉”,“玉蘭花”“山石”“稻禾”“蘭草”,鵪鶉一高一低,深情對望,立於嶙峋山石之上。神態安詳,惟妙惟肖,體態肥碩,圓臀闊胸,短頸短翅,琢制精細,翅羽分明,翎毛層疊有序,紋絲不亂。鵪鶉是古代宮廷常見的吉祥鳥獸之一,稻禾結實累累,象征豐足的太平盛世。鵪鶉與稻禾相伴,取其諧音“安和”,代表“歲歲平安”。反面雕琢“梅花”“喜鵲”“山石”“靈芝”“蘭草”“菊花”,梅枝橫斜交錯,遒勁盤曲,其上梅花馥馥,充分表達了梅花的俯、仰、側、臥、依、盼等形態和直立、曲屈、歪斜的姿勢。其下菊花盛開,枝繁葉茂,花朵碩大,交相呼應。喜鵲或飛翔空中,或站於枝頭,各具情態,活靈活現,梅花開於冬春相交之際,喜鵲立於梅花枝上,寓意冬去春來,又寓意“喜上梅(楣)梢”,即有喜事臨門之意。配有紫檀底座,底座工藝覆雜。整器體量巨大,造型規矩,雕工精湛,布局疏密得體,層次分明,寓意美好,展現了清代玉雕最高水平,成對保存完好,應為皇家觀賞玉器中的佳品。 來源: 紐約重要私人收藏 Provenance: Important private collection, New York
