垚舜艺术精品推荐：精品香炉（鉴湖公玉家藏款）赏析

垚舜文化近期有幸征得精品铜香炉一尊：唇口微外侈，束颈，瑞兽耳，浑圆腹，腹下圜收，底承“鉴湖公玉家藏”款。造型扁圆浑厚，重心沉稳，双耳峭拔，立于腹部。炉底开框錾刻“鉴湖公玉家藏”六字阳文篆书款，结体古拙，工整有度，刀法劲键，富金石气。蝙蝠纹样变化相当丰富，有倒挂蝙蝠、双蝠、四蝠捧福禄寿、五蝠等。传统纹饰中将蝙蝠与“寿”字组合，曰“五蝠捧寿”。通常所言的五福分别为：一日寿、二日富、三日康宁、四日修好德、五日考终命。香炉腹部蝙蝠展翅飞翔，绕满整体，寓意福满圆满，构图十分简洁大方。
瑞兽耳又称天耳，炉形典雅美观，器型源于宋代官窑，明宣宗曾以此式炉置于乾清宫等议政殿堂，相伴朝议，于是有“敬天法祖”之意。瑞兽耳炉不仅在宫廷中颇受青睐，亦被贵族文士争相铸造，此炉底镌私款，便是一例，订制之人，尚待研究考证。

Generally speaking, the five blessings are: one-day life, two-day wealth, three-day Corning, four-day moral cultivation, and five-day final examination. The bat in the belly of the incense burner spreads its wings and flies around the whole body, which means that the incense burner is full of happiness and the composition is very simple and generous.
