Condition

In overall good condition. Fine age cracks as can be expected, some of them have been stabilised. There is a tiny restored triangular flake to inner mouthrim, one shallow flake to the outer footrim. The base was constructed from a separate part of the bamboo. The foot has possibly been ground to conceal an earlier break.

拍品資料及來源

題識:
讀騎事半在漁樵,或水或山寄晝宵。
偶一為詩來小帙,再三步月赴僧招。
淵明謝吏還栽蘭,忠恕逢人只喚貓。
有鶴穿林學倒履,空羣聲裂滿青霄。

此筆筒出自竹刻名家張希黃之手。張希黃,江蘇江陰人,活動於明末清初時期。此品琢刻細膩精緻,曲盡畫理,堪為傳時作品中之傑作。張希黃為留青陽文的創始者,利用竹青和竹肌的顏色對比,以青筠去留多寡,呈現深淺濃淡的層次變化。他在薄薄的竹皮上,刻出多個層次,遠山近水、樹木山石、人物、亭台樓閣等景物無不栩栩如生,運刀如筆,與繪畫融為一體。

傳世品中有數例。一帶款、刻山中亭台樓閣例,錄於多個著名書刊物,Craig Clunas,《Art in China》,牛津,1997年,圖版102;Soame Jenyns 及 William Watson,《Chinese Art: The Minor Arts II》,倫敦, 1965年,圖版198。另一筆筒例為紐約大都會博物館所藏,刻《蘭亭序》,見於博物館官網。

上海博物館藏一例,載《中國美術全集.竹木牙角器》,卷11,北京,1987年,頁8,圖版8。
