Footnotes

清乾隆青白玉雕「路路連科」包袱瓶

Provenance 來源:
Acquired on 20 August 1968, probably from Louis Joseph, London (no.6845)
An English private collection and thence by descent

於1968年8月20日購得，或購自倫敦古董商Louis Joseph (編號6845）
英國私人收藏，並由家族繼承

The current lot bears many hidden auspicious connotations. Egret, lusi 鷺鷥, and hibiscus, mufurong 木芙蓉, form the pun, yilu ronghua 一路榮華, which literally translates as 'May you enjoy an affluent life throughout your life'. The pair of egrets, lu 鷺 and blossoming lotus, lian 蓮 also form the pun lulu lianke 路路連科, which literally translates as 'passing the series of civil service examinations, one after another'. The treasure bag further symbolises the offering of best wishes and the bringing of good tidings to the recipient. The lotus, further to its Buddhist associations, represents integrity and purity, both qualities much valued in a scholar-official.
