拍品描述：
17th/18th century
Naturalistically carved and hollowed as a pine tree trunk, the bark showing natural twisting and knotting natural grains, the exterior further decorated with a pine tree issuing gnarled branches and lush pine leaves.
7.4cm (2 7/8in) wide.
十七/十八世紀 竹雕松樹水丞
In literati culture, pine trees symbolise resilience and moral integrity, as they remain evergreen even in the harshest winters. As a recurring theme in Chinese art, pine trees serve as a metaphor for the ideal scholar who upholds virtue and perseveres through adversity with grace. While this vessel takes the form of a water pot for the scholar's desk, it may have been conceived more as a refined scholar's object for contemplation rather than for practical use.
See a related carved bamboo 'pine tree' waterpot in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Small Refined Articles of the Study, Shanghai, 2009, p.196, no.184. A bamboo brushwasher of similar form is in the collection of the Shanghai Museum, illustrated in The Chinese Scholar's Studio: Artistic Life in the Late Ming Period, New York, 1987, no.56. See also an example published by Ip Yee and L.C.S.Tam, Chinese Bamboo Carving, Part 1, Hong Kong, 1978, pl.62.
