动挈路搴秀 静悬屋盎春 清宫壁瓶赏鉴

Appreciation the wall vases of the imperial palace in the Qing Dynasty

壁瓶,又称挂瓶、轿瓶,多为尊、瓶、壶、罐等器的一半缩样制作而成,前面凸起,背面平坦有凹槽及圆孔以便悬挂。壁瓶主要用于插花,作为居室内外的装饰。从现有资料来看,唐代时已出现陶瓷壁瓶的雏形,但主要是作为一种盛水或酒的器具。

830 pieces of wall vases collected at the Palace Museum, most of them made during the Qianlong reign period of the Qing Dynasty.
