拍品資料及來源

本品玉質溫潤,頂端雕琢蟠桃枝葉紋,線條遒婉流暢,玉工善運巧色,依形而琢,借自然之筆而作薄意雕,蟠桃清麗婉柔,色澤層次分明,為乾隆一朝清宮造辦處工匠上乘之作。其低浮雕琢,雅緻自然,柄身簡素,末端飾卍字錦紋,質樸淳厚,脫俗出塵,為西王母蟠桃更添幾分逸氣。

蟠桃乃玉如意常見之傳統紋飾,普遍為整體如意造型中之局部裝飾。參見一白玉作例,柄身光素,頂端雕琢仙桃枝葉紋,售於香港佳士得2006年5月30日,編號1598。另有一例,飾雙桃卍字蝙蝠紋,售於紐約佳士得2004年3月24日,編號53。「三多」玉如意亦常以蟠桃作頭,柄身飾佛手,末端雕石榴。另有一作例,柄身同刻御詩,頂端浮雕游龍戲珠,署乾隆癸巳(1773)年款,曾兩度售於香港蘇富比,分別為1987年11月25日,編號370及2010年10月7月,編號2106。

本品紋飾及玉如意本身皆富吉祥祝願,寓意萬事如意,萬壽千秋。如意原為僧侶、仙人所用之搔癢爪扙,後經道家方士引入心形端頂而成靈芝狀。如意作古時爪杖已漸成遺制,後來配以各種紋飾主題,為不同作呈祥獻瑞之物。雍正一朝,以天瑞正王政,重興如意之吉祥喜慶意趣,宮中造辨以不同材質作瑞芝如意工藝。如意常用於內廷錫賚,亦為進獻皇室顯貴以慶壽華誕或晉爵等之美祥賀儀。
