清 銀燒藍壽字紋盞托 一組四件
The present set of cup stands crafted from refined silver, featuring a concave centre to cradle the tea cup and slightly upturned edges to prevent spillage. The central body showcases a 'shou' seal script motif rendered in chased engraving, while the rim is adorned with bat and longevity peach patterns executed in cloisonné enamel. Together, these elements form the auspicious motif of the 'Wufu surrounding the logevity'. The bases beared the incised marks 'Beijing Tianbao' and 'zhu wen'. This set of four pieces symbolizes both the beauty of peace throughout the four seasons and the blessings of longevity from all directions.
This set harmoniously blends the refined elegance of tea ceremony, the sincerity of birthday blessings, and exquisite craftsmanship. Together, the four pieces form a complete ensemble, serving as a tangible testament to the Qing dynasty literati's aesthetic pursuit of 'enjoying tea and longevity together'. They also showcase the perfect fusion of silverwork and enamel painting techniques.
盞托以優質銀材為胎，盞托中央內凹設計用以承托茶盞，邊緣微翹以防止茶湯外溢。器身中央以鏨刻工藝呈現篆體團壽紋樣，邊緣施以燒藍技法裝飾蝙蝠與壽桃圖案，整體構成五福捧壽的吉祥寓意。器底陰刻「北京天寶」款識及「足紋」標識，一套四隻，既象徵四季平安之美意，又蘊含四方賀壽之祝頌。
此套盞托集茶道雅韻、祝壽虔誠與工藝精湛於一體，四器成堂，既為清代文人「茶壽同享」生活美學的物質見證，亦展現了銀作工藝與琺瑯彩繪技藝的完美融合。
