澄泥石壶

     澄泥石是我国四大名石之一，它产于我国风景秀丽的江南水乡。用其手工精雕而成的澄泥石壶及石砚造型端庄古朴，图案精美高雅，色泽深沉而含蓄，堪称工艺精品由于澄泥石含有多种有益人体的矿物元素，长期使用澄泥石壶，可达到健体强身的功效。澄泥石壶不仅在国内市场上享有声誉，而且还深受港澳同胞及国际市场的青睐，产品远销东南亚、欧洲等国家和地区。澄泥石壶出品于盛产中国名砚之一的苏州藏书乡，它采自天灵澄泥石，集天灵山水秀于一壶，经精心加工雕刻而成。据考古发现，澄泥石壶在春秋战国时期即为宫廷珍品。澄泥石壶工艺复杂，特别是内腔制作更为费工，因而数量极少，为稀世珍宝古时传三月制一壶之说，后逐渐失传。苏州雕刻、藏书艺人蔡锦玉及第三代传人蔡云弟为弘扬民族文化，继承并改革传统工艺，提高功效，博采众长，潜心创作，在澄泥石壶雕刻技艺上，运用深浅浮雕、镂刻和浅刻等多种手法，以手工雕琢为主，机械加工为辅，既保存传统的石雕艺术风格，又具有紫砂壶细腻的写实作风。品种繁多，做功精美，有古币壶，南瓜壶，木桩壶，竹子壶等等 。
