清 祺皇贵太妃之宝银玺

清宣统(1909-1911)
长12.7厘米 宽12.7厘米 高10厘米
    银质,钮为一蹲曲的龙形,龙体刻画精细,龙形威武庄严。印面呈正方形,镌阳文满、汉两种文体的篆书“祺皇贵太妃之宝”七字。龙钮印是尊贵的象征,只有皇亲国戚才能使用,此印即是清朝皇族用印。
  印文中所及祺皇贵太妃原本是清咸丰皇帝的端恪皇贵妃,佟佳氏,系满洲镶黄旗头等侍卫裕祥之女。道光二十四年(公元1844年)十月二十四日出生,咸丰八年(公元1858年)三月二十五日,纳入宫中,侍奉咸丰帝。佟佳氏并非通过八旗选秀进入皇宫,而是直接由母家接入皇宫,在清朝可说是唯一的特例。端恪皇贵妃是咸丰皇帝所有后妃中最后去世的,是清朝唯一一位历经五朝的后妃,亦是定陵妃园寝最后一个入葬的妃嫔,这在中国历史上也是不多见的。
  此印系清宣统皇帝为皇祖重制玉册,改镌玉宝时所制的银印。清王朝灭亡后,宣统皇帝溥仪曾在天津静园居留过一段时日,他带出宫中的各种文物很多都留在了天津,此方印也在其中。从印文和钮制看,这枚太妃印反映了清王朝的后妃用印制度,具有很高的历史价值,是研究清朝历史的重要物证。此印是天津博物馆收藏的唯一一方清朝后妃用印,它体积大,镌工细致,是非常难得的珍品。
