蘇軾〈獨酌試藥玉盞〉

鎔鈆煮白石 White frits with lead fuse
作玉真自欺 As jade which deceives.
琢削為酒盃 Sculpted and polished,
規摹定州瓷 A Ding ware it turns.

----蘇軾〈獨酌試藥玉盞〉 Su Shi (1037-1100)
A Lone Drink Testing a Yao-Jade Cup

    琢削為酒盃 Sculpted and polished,

    chiseled and polished會不會較為貼切?

    chisel是硬碰硬刻鑿硬材質如石、木等。

    藥玉其實就是玻璃,是在可塑性下燒煉熔塑鑄彫而成。實際技法要問專家,故特用廣義總稱sculpt,意指shape, mode, form, or fashion。所謂sculpture 藝術,包括 modeling clay, casting in metal, and chiseling marble。
