此壶砂质温润细腻。造型简朴,壶形突出莲子(又称掇只),骨肉亭匀,这是紫砂茗壶光素造型中的一件佳器,看似素面素心,却体现出壶艺家的功力和纯熟深厚的技艺。底刻款“岁在辛卯中冬虔荣制时年七十六并书。”   

【制造人简介】:虔荣,姓潘,字菊轩。清乾隆至道光年间宜兴制陶人,名在《宜兴县志》长寿耄耋之列,所制茗壶砂细工精,当地紫砂老辈颇为推重。高熙的《茗壶说·赠邵大亨君》一文中,亦首提此名。文中有句去:“……近得菊轩掇,并苍老可玩……。”现尚有两佳器传世。

Qing late (Jiaqing and after)

Made in the Qing Dynasty by REAL SHAO Daheng.     There are many claim-to-be.  Few are for real.  The clay looks the same to what's on the book by GU Jingzhou.  The surface feels like baby skin.
