清乾隆 白玉雕葫蘆萬代茶壺 Delicately carved in openwork in the form of double gourd (hu lu) with large gnarled branch forming the handle, opposite to a curved spout, with gnarled and leafy intertwining branches extending from the handle and growing around the body and spout, fitted with a domed cover surmounted with a compressed globular finial. The stone is of highly polished white tone with slight celadon inclusions. Qing Dynasty Qianlong period. Height: 6 1/2 in (16.5 cm) Length: 5 in (12.7 cm) Width: 2 1/8 in (5.1 cm)此壺白玉質，質地潤澤，清透光亮。壺蓋為葫蘆形，壺嘴光素，其壺把雕琢為葫蘆主莖，主莖生出細長莖蔓，莖蔓蜿蜒攀繞於腹壁和壺嘴，甚為雅緻。整體雕工細膩，造型優雅。葫蘆諧音「福祿」，蜿蜒生長的莖蔓象徵連綿不絕，而且由於葫蘆的藤蔓很長，像一條帶子，“蔓帶”諧音“萬代”，故「福祿萬代」比喻福、祿、壽世世代代，長長久久。此壺整體雕工細膩，造型優雅，構思獨特，寓意吉祥，實為清代乾隆時期玉雕不可多得的精品。類似造型器物可參考紐約大都市博物館藏品（圖一）
