除銅之外，還有金、銀等貴重材料加入，所以爐質特別細膩。一般爐料要經四煉，而宣德爐要經十二煉，因此爐質會更加純細，如嬰兒膚。鎏金或嵌金片的宣德爐金光閃閃，能夠給人—種不同凡器的感覺。

宣德爐最妙在色，其色內融，從黯淡中發奇光。史料記載有四十多種色澤，為世人鍾愛，其色的名稱很多。例如，紫帶青黑似茄皮的，叫茄皮色；黑黃象藏經紙的，叫藏經色；黑白帶紅淡黃色的，叫褐色；如舊玉之土沁色的，叫土古色；白黃帶紅似棠梨之色的，叫棠梨色，還有黃紅色的地、套上五彩斑點的，叫仿宋燒斑色；比硃砂還鮮紅的斑，叫朱紅斑；輕及豬肝色、棗紅色、琥珀色、茶葉末、蟹殼青等等……明朝萬曆年間大鑑賞家、收藏家、畫家項元汴（子京）說：「宣爐之妙，在寶色內涵珠光，外現澹澹穆穆。」

雙龍戲珠：是兩條龍戲耍(或搶奪)一顆火珠的表現形式。它的起源來自天文學中的星球運行圖,火珠是由月球演化來的。雙龍戲珠起源時間是先秦時期,擁有三千年的歷史。在中國古代神話中,龍珠是龍的精華,是它們修煉的原神所在,所以人們在藝術表達中,通過兩條龍對玉珠的爭奪,象徵著人們對美好生活的追求。

錯金工藝：製作過程：鑄器，在青銅器表面上按要求鑄出或縷出凹形槽，並在槽底鏨鑿出麻點。鑲嵌，用捶打或擠壓法把適當加熱了的金絲(片)嵌擠入凹槽內，並使之充盈。磨錯，用厝石磨錯，再用木炭加清水和皮革先後反覆打磨，使鑲嵌更加自然光滑，明亮和平整。

底足陽刻四字款：宣德年制，德字少一橫，是當時的典型特徵，這件宣德爐在自然光線下，底光柔和，自然光呈現暈散反射，無任何賊光，經多名專家鑑定，竟是明宣德年間的宣德爐真品。

宣德爐歷來就是香爐之王，幹將莫邪寶劍也就經過六煉，而這件宣德爐整整經過十二煉，這才有了幾百年不變色，不腐蝕的珍品香爐，細看這件宣德爐包漿自然，底光柔和，所謂包漿是自然形成的氧化層，也有認為手盤包漿，兩者不同，但同時都有保護宣德爐的功能，有如給宣德爐鍍上一層保護膜，使宣德爐不再氧化，便於收藏傳世，如果覺得香爐髒，可以用清水洗，再用棉布擦乾，不要破壞包漿，破壞了包漿就相當於破壞了保護層，更重要的是包漿是鑑定新老宣德爐最簡單有效的方法。細看這件宣德爐品相完美，沒有磕缺，損毀，變形等是不可多得收藏級宣德爐，建議收藏，傳世。

江南省，原為明朝南京（南直隸）地區，清朝入關後，於清順治二年（1645年）沿明制設江南承宣布政使司，即廢除南京為國都的地位，巡撫衙門設於江寧府（今南京），清康熙初年，改承宣布政使司為行省，江南承宣布政使司即改為江南省。

江南省的範圍大致相當於今上海市、江蘇省和安徽省以及江西省婺源縣、浙江省嵊泗列島等地。無論是明朝的「南直隸」，還是後來清朝的「江南省」，皆為當時全國最富裕的地區之一。清初時，江南一省的賦稅佔全國的三分之一，而每期科考，江南一省的上榜人數就佔了全國的近一半，於是有「天下英才，半數盡出江南」一說。

江南省造光緒元寶係指清代光緒二十三年至三十一年(1897-1905年)由南京造幣廠鑄造的「光緒元寶」系列銀幣，系清代正式鑄行的法定流通銀幣。但鑄行江南省造銀幣的清末，已無江南省建制。

江南省設於清朝順治二年(1645年)，省府位於江寧(今南京)。清代的江南省前身是明朝的南直隸江南省，範圍大致相當於今天的江蘇省、上海市和安徽省。康熙六年(1667年)清廷撤江南省，分設江蘇和安徽兩個省。南京造幣廠將其鑄造的銀幣標明「江南省造」，是因為當時蘇州已經有一個專鑄機制銅元的造幣廠，其鑄造的銅元均標明「江蘇省造」。為避免混淆，南京造幣廠將其鑄造的銀幣標明「江南省造」。系我國貨幣史上唯一有名無實的省份銀幣。

邢窯，是一處隋朝－五代時期的窯場，現存遺址位於河北省邢臺市轄內邱、臨城兩縣境內的太行山東麓丘陵和平原地帶。據考證，邢窯始燒於北朝，衰於五代，終於元代，唐代時為制瓷業七大名窯之一，也是我國北方最早燒制白瓷的窯場。

邢窯在實踐中不斷改革創新，首創匣缽燒法，為精美瓷器的燒製成功起到關鍵作用。邢窯開創的獨特製瓷工藝和先進的燒造技術，同樣是我國陶瓷史上的重要裡程碑。唐人李肇在《國史補》裡寫道："內丘白瓷甌、端溪紫石硯，天下無貴賤通用之"。

邢窯白瓷產品的出現，改變了中國一向以青瓷為主的局面，結束了自魏晉以來青瓷一統天下的局面，到了唐代，形成規模，使得邢窯與越窯平分秋色，形成了南青北白、相互爭妍的兩大體系，為唐以後白瓷的崛起和彩瓷的發展奠定了基礎。唐三彩的出土使邢窯遺址成為中國第三處燒制唐三彩的窯址，具有重大的保護價值和學術、科研價值。

中文名稱：邢窯綠釉梅瓶

英文名稱：Xing Kiln green glaze plum bottle

類別：瓷器

規格：一枚（高19Cm）

品相：美品

邢窯白瓷極為釉面，其白瓷點綴綠釉更是錦上添花之作，這種原始的綠釉，顏色偏黃，正如越窯青瓷那樣綠中帶黃，而越窯青瓷是由邢窯發展而來，故有異曲同工的釉色特徵。

梅瓶也稱"經瓶"，最早出現於唐代，宋遼時期較為流行，並且出現了許多新品種。近代許之衡在《飲流齋說瓷》一書中詳細地描述了梅瓶的形制、特徵及名稱由來："梅瓶口細而頸短，肩極寬博，至脛稍狹，抵於足微豐，口徑之小僅與梅之瘦骨相稱，故名梅瓶。"關於梅瓶的用途，磁州窯白地黑花梅瓶器腹有「清沽美酒」與「醉鄉酒海」的詩句。梅瓶既是酒器，又是一件令人愛不釋手的觀賞品。因此，這類器多製作精美，不但考慮到貯酒容量，還要注意造型優美。

據考證，邢窯始燒於南北朝晚期，衰於五代，終於元代，燒造時間大約為九百多年。其技術水平在隋代已燒制出具有高透影性能的細白瓷，在中國陶瓷史上是一個重要的裡程碑。

底部的修胎痕跡十分明顯，古代是用足片修胎，與如今的鋸條修胎所留下的痕跡完全不同，可見其胎質細膩糯白，為少有的糯米胎，最早稱之為「糯米汁胎」是形象描述胎體的質感，如同糯米經水磨後流出的米漿一般細膩、光滑。後被稱為糯米胎，此胎極其細膩，是瓷石經過多次提煉極其細膩後才有的極品瓷胎，這種瓷胎輕扣聲音清脆悅耳，胎質緊密，較一般瓷器硬度要高，抗熱漲冷縮能力強，很多瓷器經歷上百年時間就會自然的乾裂，我們成為陰裂現象，與窯裂不同，是後期形成的，而糯米胎瓷器就不會出現這種問題，由於瓷土極其細膩，也不會出現棕眼的現象，是美瓷的重要要素，這件梅瓶品相完美，十分耐賞，具有極高的收藏價值。

Both the Southern Zhili province of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jiangnan Province of the Qing Dynasty were among the richest regions in China at that time. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, jiangnan province accounted for one third of the tax revenue of the whole country. In each scientific examination, the number of people from Jiangnan province on the list accounted for nearly half of the national total. Therefore, there was a saying that "half of the world's outstanding talents come from Jiangnan".

The Qing dynasty's predecessor jiangnan province was the Ming Dynasty's Southern Zhili Province, roughly equivalent to today's Jiangsu province, Shanghai city and Anhui Province. In the sixth year of Kangxi's reign (1667), the Qing court withdrew Jiangnan province and divided Jiangsu and Anhui into two provinces. The Nanjing Mint marked its silver COINS as "made in Jiangnan Province" because at that time suzhou already had a mint in copper COINS, all of which were marked "made in Jiangsu Province". To avoid confusion, the Nanjing Mint marks its silver COINS as "made in Jiangnan Province". It is the only nominal provincial silver coin in the history of Chinese currency.
