Condition
There is some minor surface age cracks near the foot, possibly secured with light touch-up or tiny wax fill, but overall the condition of the rhinoceros horn vase is very good with a dense grain finished to a fine polish.

拍品資料及來源
此品以犀角雕瓶，相類之品極其罕見，瓶上鐫物主名號，添文「玉液和墨書留香」，與墨摻犀角末含香驅蟲之說相呼應，使器更顯珍貴幽雅。且提玉液，有云酒為詩侶，詩見酒魂，好詩總伴美酒而來。此瓶尺寸偏小，疑為士人文案硯滴。
Angela Chua 藏一素面犀角瓶，尺寸稍大（高 15.5 公分），圖見 Jan Chapman，《中國犀角雕刻藝術》，倫敦，1999年，圖版91；同書並載另一犀角雕仿古瓶，藏於芝加哥菲爾德自然史博物館，尺寸較小，圖版93。波士頓哈佛大學博物館附屬之賽克勒博物館藏一瓶，雕飾蓮葉花實，插置瓶中，出處同上，圖版92。犀角雕素面鼻煙壺例，也可資比較，見霍滿棠，《中國犀角雕刻珍賞》，香港，1999年，圖版185。
