Jade Gourd Handpiece｜Vine Form with Continuous Blessings

Description

① Subject matter and symbolism

This product is themed “Jade Melon,” derived from traditional auspicious patterns of fruits and vegetables. Melons and fruits, with their many seeds and intertwined vines, have long been regarded as symbols of family continuity and continuous blessings, and also carry the auspicious meanings of “endless offspring” and “good fortune following one another.”

② Form and Sculpture

The overall design adopts a vine-like structure with naturally undulating lines and rounded shapes. The fruits, leaves, and vines echo each other, creating a balanced and harmonious layout. Perforations and hollowed-out details are left in some areas.

③ Jade quality and craftsmanship

The material is primarily white jade, with a soft and delicate color. Natural patina and color variations are preserved in some areas. The craftsmanship follows the natural shape without excessive embellishment, making the piece appear more natural and lifelike. The patina is distributed on the fruit and edges.

① 题材与寓意

本品以“玉瓜”为题，源自传统蔬果吉祥纹样。瓜果多籽，藤蔓相生，自古被视为家族延续、福泽连绵的象征，亦有“瓜瓞绵绵”“福禄相随”之美意。

② 造型与雕刻

整体采用藤蔓式构型，线条起伏自然，形体圆融。果实、叶片与蔓茎相互呼应，布局疏密有致。局部留有穿孔与掏雕。

③ 玉质与工艺   选材以白玉为主，玉色柔和细腻，局部保留天然沁色与色差，随形施艺，不作过度修饰，使作品更显自然生动。沁色分布于果实与边缘处。
