持莲玉童是宋代具有代表性的器物,并于当时流行,根据风俗,每到阴历七夕牛郎织女相会的日子,儿童都要去采摘一朵荷花扛在肩上,象征着莲(连)生贵子,多子多福。这种持莲童子的制作从宋代以后一直流传至元明清。
此件烛台体量高大,烛台厚重。童子面容圆润和煦,两耳肥大,头梳桃形童子髻,双目圆瞪,神情烁烁,尽显天真顽皮的模样。身着交领式宽袍,手捧方瓶,内有盛开的莲花,中央设孔,可作香插之用。童子腰系长结,侧挂寿桃,足蹬高靴,双足开列而立,底部为四方束腰式台座,如意形四足相衬,富有意趣。
持莲童子首先便使人联想到莲“出淤泥而不染”的形象,在历史长河中又被赋予了各种涵义,例如“莲生贵子”。而童子腰间的寿桃有寓有“福寿延绵”之意。
