470. 清代雕塑大师王炳荣的作品：一路连科

王炳荣，清代同治光绪年间景德镇的瓷雕名家，与时代稍早的另一位瓷雕家陈国治齐名。他的龙纹鼻烟壶作品2007年在佳士得以25000美元成交，另一件柠檬绿山水纹笔筒也于2008年在佳士得以15000美元成交，拍卖目录中有如下注释：'According to T. Miller and H. Hui in Elegance in Relief: Carved Porcelain from Jingdezhen of the 19th to Early 20th Centuries, Hong Kong, 2006, Wang Bingrong was 'the most commercially successful of the Daoguang period porcelain carvers and was probably still active through at least one of the two subsequent reigns' and that his 'enduring popularity owes much to the bold simplicity with which he executed classical motifs'. See Miller and Hui, ibid, pp. 128-9, no. 21, for a pale yellow-glazed brush pot of similar style.'
