  清中期 碧玉雕纏枝牡丹蓋爐
  
  碧玉質地，深綠色中略有黑色斑紋。器身圓形，高蓋圓鼓，子母口，蓋鈕鏤雕纏枝牡丹，蓋身八出戟間飾卷草牡丹紋，圓形圈足外撇。器身與蓋身對應亦作八出戟，並間飾卷草牡丹紋，器身兩側各飾一菊花耳，四周透雕卷草紋，耳下套一活環。圈足外壁對應八出戟，出戟間飾十字花卉卷草紋。
  
  此器於1994年5月3日從美國亞洲藝術商The Jade Collector購入，造型古樸，雕琢精湛，紋飾多有仿古之風。另見一件類似的清康熙碧玉雕牡丹紋香薰，著錄於Stanley C. Nott編，《Chinese Jade Throughout the Ages. A Review of Its Characteristics, Decoration, Folklore and Symbolism》，東京，1962年，頁57，圖版XLII。又Roger Kevern編，《Jade》，倫敦，1991年，頁163，圖版89，其中著錄一件18世紀碧玉出戟饕餮紋香爐可作對比參考。參見Jessie Woolworth Donahue舊藏一件清乾隆碧玉饕餮紋牡丹耳三足香爐，曾於波士頓藝術博物館展出，後於1972年4月20日紐約蘇富比拍賣，拍品264號，再於2007年11月27日香港佳士得拍賣，拍品1549號，該器亦採用八出戟設計，其紋飾佈局均與本香爐類似。
