聚宝盆是中国古代民间传说故事中的一个宝物。传说明初沈万三致富原因是由于拥有聚宝盆。这个典故来自于周人龙的《挑灯集异》：“明初沈万三微时，见渔翁持青蛙百余，将事锉剞，以镪买之，纵于池中。嗣后喧鸣达旦，贴耳不能寐，晨往驱之，见蛙俱环踞一瓦盆，异之，将归以为浣手器。万三妻偶遗一银钗于盆中，银钗盈满，不可数计，以钱银试之亦如是，由是财雄天下。

聚宝盆是财神宝物，可招财，聚财，因此也派生出一系列与之有关的吉瑞文化极品。可放在房子中的财位上或者放在神案及明亮之处，盆内放上现代钱币或金条或金砖（黄铜的即可），有极强的催财旺财作用。或置于家宅中不仅可招财守财，还可镇宅趋邪化煞，保平安。 自明代中后期至清代末期，中国文化社会进入到一个空前繁荣的工艺品创作时代。宫廷崇尚赏玩工艺品，民间各地最优秀的工匠纷纷被招入宫廷内府造办处各作坊，从事工艺品创作，使得明清工艺品创作达到有史以来的鼎盛期。

大清乾隆年制款“聚宝盆”，此乃乾隆年间宫廷御制银聚宝盆，集包银、堆银、镀银、雕银等多种工艺于一体。宫廷御工包、镀银之工艺鬼斧神工，衔接之处天衣无缝。环形内上方银刻回形纹，内有大元宝，四周刻“招财进宝”，盆周有吉祥图纹盘横，盆底有官印为“大清乾隆年制”小篆体，五爪金龙纹包裹。器型端庄大方，形制规范，底款乾隆时期图章篆书“大清乾隆年制”，为官窑宫廷御用品。 聚宝盆外壁立体浮雕，镀银雕刻了回形纹、如意纹、十二生肖纹，十二生肖于盆体之底，惟妙惟肖，不可言状。脉络清晰宝盆内银光闪闪，光滑如水，无暇无疵。聚宝盆壁向外呈圆弧形。盆内光滑如镜，银光熠熠；聚宝盆作工精巧，摆在室内，满室生辉，说不尽的皇家气势。　

中国的历史源远流长，工艺美术品众多，乃至以后的作品尽管精彩纷呈，却难以进入藏家的视线，随着中国文化的不断往下传承，在未来这件“乾隆年制”款聚宝盆的价值也会因其对现代文化特有的冲击力，而独具收藏价值。

The cornucopia is a treasure in ancient Chinese folklore. It is said that Shen Wansan got rich in the early Ming Dynasty because he had a cornucopia. This allusion comes from Zhou Renlong's "Tiao Deng Ji Yi": "at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Shen wansanwei saw a fisherman holding more than 100 frogs, filing things, buying them with a bucket, and standing in the pool. Later, he made a noise for a long time, close to his ear and couldn't sleep. When he drove them in the morning, he saw that the frogs were all surrounded in a tile basin. If they were different, they would be regarded as huanshou tools. 10000 wives occasionally left a silver hairpin in the basin, full of silver hairpins, which can't be counted. It's the same with money and silver, so it's the world of wealth."

Cornucopia is a treasure of the God of wealth, which can attract and gather wealth. Therefore, it also derives a series of related Jirui cultural masterpieces. It can be placed in the wealth position in the house or in the divine table and bright place. Modern coins or gold bars or gold bricks (brass ones) can be placed in the basin, which has a strong effect of promoting wealth. Or placed in the house can not only attract money and keep money, but also suppress the evil and turn evil spirits in the house and ensure peace. From the middle and late Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, Chinese cultural society has entered an unprecedented prosperous era of handicraft creation. The palace worships appreciating and playing handicrafts, and the best craftsmen from all over the folk have been recruited into the workshops of the manufacturing office of the palace to engage in the creation of handicrafts, making the creation of handicrafts in the Ming and Qing Dynasties reach its peak in history.
