十七/十八世紀 沉香木雕飲中八仙焦遂飲酒杯
Libation cups carved from chenxiangmu generally resemble rhinoceros
horn cups in appearance, compare with a related late Ming dynasty
chenxiangmu carved ‘landscape’ brushpot inscribed by Jiangchunbo
in the Beijing Palace Museum, illustrated in The Complete Collection
of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Bamboo, Wood Ivory and
Rhinoceros Horn Carvings, Hong Kong, 2002, p.21, no.20; see also
a 18th century chenxiangmu ‘Drunken Eight Immortals’ cup, sold at
Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 22 April 2021, lot 3659.

侈口翻唇，口沿下陰刻弦紋一周，杯身下收，深浮雕山林樹木及山
石，柳樹之下圓雕二高士對酌，石台之上杯盞儼然，高士身後蹲踞一
小童，面前高低三缸酒壺，山石雕琢立體深峻，線條圓潤，杯身留白
處陰刻詩句「焦遂五斗方卓然」。
所刻詩句出自唐代杜甫《飲中八仙歌》：「焦遂五斗方卓然，高談雄
辯驚四筵。」此詩大約是天寶五年（746年）杜甫初到長安時所作。
史稱李白與賀知章、李適之、李璡、崔宗之、蘇晉、張旭、焦遂八人
俱善飲，稱 「酒中八仙人」，為長安一時佳話。
參考北京故宮藏一件明代晚期江春波製沉香木雕山水圖筆筒，其山水
人物佈局及刀工與本件頗為相似，見《故宮博物院藏文物珍品大系》，
香港，2002年，頁21， 編號20。另可比較一對十八世紀沉香木雕飲
中八仙詩意圖杯，2021年4月22日售於香港蘇富比，拍品編號3659。

十九世紀 椰殼雕暗八仙包銀碗一對
The present pair of wine bowls was possibly used for kumis or
chhaang, compare with a mid Qing dynasty carved coconut shell
‘cloud and dragon’ bowl in the Beijing Palace Museum, illustrated
in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum:
Bamboo, Wood, Ivory and Rhinoceros Horn Carvings, Hong Kong,
2002, p.97.

角、銅錢、葫蘆及拍板，以浮雕團壽字隔開，網格紋填地，圈足，底
部內收兩層，碗內壁包銀，碗心鏨「足紋」銀標。
此碗或為蒙古族藏族酒具，馬奶酒或青稞酒當用之。可比較北京故宮
博物院藏一件清中期椰殼雕雲龍紋碗，見李久芳編，《故宮博物院藏
文物珍品全集》，香港，2002年，頁97。
