垚舜文化近期有幸征得精品銅香爐一尊：唇口微外侈，束頸，瑞獸耳，渾圓腹，腹下圜收，底承“鑒湖公玉家藏”款。造型扁圓渾厚，重心沉穩(wěn)，雙耳峭拔，立于腹部。爐底開框鏨刻“鑒湖公玉家藏”六字陽文篆書款，結(jié)體古拙，工整有度，刀法勁鍵，富金石氣。蝙蝠紋樣變化相當(dāng)豐富，有倒掛蝙蝠、雙蝠、四蝠捧福祿壽、五蝠等。傳統(tǒng)紋飾中將蝙蝠與“壽”字組合，曰“五蝠捧壽”。通常所言的五福分別為：一日壽、二日富、三日康寧、四日修好德、五日考終命。香爐腹部蝙蝠展翅飛翔，繞滿整體，寓意福滿圓滿，構(gòu)圖十分簡潔大方。
瑞獸耳又稱天耳，爐形典雅美觀，器型源于宋代官窯，明宣宗曾以此式爐置于乾清宮等議政殿堂，相伴朝議，于是有“敬天法祖”之意。瑞獸耳爐不僅在宮廷中頗受青睞，亦被貴族文士爭(zhēng)相鑄造，此爐底鐫私款，便是一例，訂制之人，尚待研究考證。
Yaoshun culture recently had the honor to obtain a high-quality copper censer: small lips and small mouth, neck binding, auspicious animal ears, round belly, round abdomen, bottom bearing the "Jianhu public jade collection" fund. The shape is flat, round and thick, the center of gravity is steady, the ears are steep, standing in the abdomen. The bottom of the furnace is carved with six characters of Yangwen seal script of "Jianhu gongyujiazang". The structure is ancient and clumsy. It is neat and well-organized. The blade technique is powerful and the key is rich in gold and stone. There are many patterns of bats, such as inverted bats, double bats, four bats holding fortune and longevity, five bats, etc. The traditional pattern combines bat with "longevity", which is called "five bats holding longevity". Generally speaking, the five blessings are: one-day life, two-day wealth, three-day Corning, four-day moral cultivation, and five-day final examination. The bat in the belly of the incense burner spreads its wings and flies around the whole body, which means that the incense burner is full of happiness and the composition is very simple and generous.
Auspicious animal ear is also called heavenly ear. The shape of the stove is elegant and beautiful. The shape of the utensil comes from the official kiln of Song Dynasty. Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty used this stove to be placed in the palace of Qianqing and other government halls, accompanied by the court discussion, so it means "respecting the heaven and the ancestors of the law". The auspicious animal ear stove is not only popular in the court, but also forged by noble scholars. The bottom of the stove is engraved with private money, which is an example. The custom-made people need to be studied and verified
