徐氏兄弟出生于紫砂陶艺世家，兄弟俩继承传统、大胆创新、各有所长。兄长徐汉棠专长制壶、制盆，兄弟徐秀棠以雕塑、陶刻及对紫砂理论的研究名扬四海。他们同为“中国工艺美术大师”，在紫砂界是绝无仅有的。

家传陶艺与传统艺术的相互渗透，形成了“徐门陶艺”独特的风格。徐门从事紫砂陶艺创作的人员之多，也是紫砂行业中少见的。他们的后人有的已经在紫砂界崭露头角，成为业界的中坚力量。

徐汉棠家二楼的陈列室里，陈列着几百件他自己的作品。他说，他现在是“只进不出”，要回收自己的作品，留做纪念。这里被他命名为“自乐轩”。他时常在这里喝茶、待客，回味每一件作品的创作历程与背后的故事。徐汉棠沉浸在怡然自得的世界里。也就是在这个“世界”里，他为我们讲述了家族的从业经历。

徐门家族从事紫砂行业有100多年的历史了。追根溯源，从徐汉棠祖父徐锦森到现在，已是第五代了。

壶做的好不好壶把是很关键的，从一个壶把就能看出紫砂壶制作工匠的水准，这把壶把做的行云流水，过渡自然，实属难得。能做一把壶只能算工匠，把壶做到行云流水，端正大方，做成一件艺术品是非常困难的，这把壶三点一线，壶盖严丝合缝，断水现象极佳，为大师力作，任何一位紫砂老匠无不是经过了几十年的工艺沉淀方有所成就，而徐汉堂的紫砂壶手艺传到他手里已经是第五代人了，一百多年的沉淀，对紫砂壶精益求精的匠心精神，最终成就了一位泰斗级的紫砂壶大师。

底部落款四字篆书徐汉棠制，壶底可见八棱形，形似钻石一般，古代凡是有八个方向的八楞器物，统称为八仙，八宝等，如八仙桌，并没有刻八仙，是由于八个棱角，八个方向被称为八仙桌，同理这件紫砂壶为徐汉堂的八宝壶，寓意吉祥，造型精美，古韵十足。

壶盖汉棠款规整精美，一般大师都会在壶盖落款，以免出现配盖的情况发生。

一把好的紫砂壶款都是非常精美规整的，一把好的紫砂壶更让水软化，让硬水成为软水，口感柔和，入口丝滑，这也是为什么泡普洱用紫砂的原因。泡好的普洱茶，入口香滑，让人回味无穷。这件紫砂壶，精美底款，八宝寓意吉祥，无磕，无缺，整体古韵十足，摆在那就给人一种年代感，品相极美，是千金易得一宝难求的宝壶。

袁大头是民国时期主要流通货币之一，“袁大头”是对袁世凯像系列硬币的口语俗称，严谨点说叫“袁世凯像背嘉禾银币”。北洋政府为了整顿币制，划一银币，于民国三年（1914年）二月，颁布《国币条例》十三条，决定实行银本位制度。《国币条例》规定：“以库平纯银六钱四分八厘为价格之单位，定名为圆”，“一圆银币，总重七钱二分，银八九，铜一一”，“一圆银币用数无限制”，即以一圆银币为无限法偿的本位贷币。根据这一规定，于1914年12月及1915年2月， 先后由造币总厂及江南造币厂开铸一圆银币，币面镌刻袁世凯头像，俗称“袁头币”或“袁大头”。

清朝灭亡之后，1912年4月袁世凯出任大总统。北洋政府鉴于当时铸币、纸币十分复杂，流通的中外货币在百种以上，规格不一，流通混乱，折算繁琐，民众积怨，同时也想借助货币改制以解决军费问题，便决定铸发国币。袁世凯为了提高自己的统治地位，把他的头像铸于币面，“袁大头”由此而来。

背嘉禾二本，左右交互，下系结带，中铸“壹圆，中圆，贰角，一角”四种币值。这些年，在银元收藏界，有一个名字，始终不乏耳闻，那就是“袁大头”，特别是这几年，随着金银价格走强以及市场的火爆，许多老银元的市场价格都有了多倍的涨幅，其中部分版本特殊，品相良好，存世稀少的珍品，更是不可估量。

嘉禾”，美禾，茁壮之禾，硕大之禾，祥瑞之禾也。东汉许慎《说文》云：“禾，嘉谷也。以二月而种，八月始熟，得时之中，故谓之禾。”王充《论衡·讲瑞篇》云：“嘉禾生于禾中，与禾中异穗，谓之嘉禾。”古人多以“嘉禾”为祥瑞之物，与甘露醴泉并称。如班固《汉书·公孙弘传》云：“甘露降，风雨时，嘉禾兴。”也就是生长得特别茁壮的禾稻，古人视嘉禾图案为吉祥的象征。

在中国钱币上就有嘉禾图案，现在国徽上就有，最典型的嘉禾纹样就是“袁大头”上的背后的嘉禾图案。

紫砂泰斗顾景舟，曾与国画大家范曾设计了怎样的“天价”紫砂壶？

“一片冰心在玉壶。”多年后，范曾不禁回忆起与紫砂大师顾景舟合作创作紫砂壶的历历往事。”那是我见到的最古朴的紫砂器型，非常让人心仪。而且，顾景舟先生的镌刻功夫，在我看来也是一流的。 顾景舟，被海内外誉为“壶艺泰斗”、“一代宗师”。他是艺术界公

正面均为袁世凯五分侧面像，上列纪年，民国三年收藏价值是极高的，袁大头之所以会被称为袁大头主要是因为在这枚银元背后是印有袁世凯侧脸的“大头贴，并且这枚银元也是由他发行的，首先银元值钱的其中原因在于它和人民币不同，它从外国的传入期是由清朝开始袁世凯为了解决在辛亥革命后的军费问题以及个人地位提高的重要途径，从这里来说虽然他不受到欢迎但是银元背后的历史价值是不容小窥的。

袁大头中的极品民国三年袁大头，这一年的袁大头发行量最少，因为他在当时是一个错版的存在，一般的袁大头都是七个字，多了一个‘造’字，在所有袁大头中只有民国三年的袁大头是没有造字的，再看红圈所标记处，民字是多一点的，这也是与其它钱币很大的一个区别，下方红圈标记处，我们可以看到袁大头人像与内齿接触的地方是少一个内齿的，这也是内行人鉴定钱币真假重要的一点，这枚钱币整圈就少这一个内齿，当时的目的就为了来防伪的，而后期仿制的钱币是没有注意到这个细节的。

钱币收藏历来就讲究：藏齐，藏‘绝’三年袁大头是整个袁大头系列里的一‘绝’其收藏价值极高，收集了民国三年袁大头的四种币值，已经包含了袁大头所有币值，为一套，收藏法则是一加一大于二的同理这一套为组，其收藏价值大大的提升，为藏齐。而且钱币第二侧重点就是看品相，这四枚银币，包浆自然，整体规整，字体清晰，图案精美，无任何磕缺，变形，品相完美，是馆藏级别的银币。

Yuan Tou was one of the main currencies in circulation during the Republic of China. "Yuan Tou" is the colloquial name for yuan Shikai's series of COINS, or, to be more precise, "Yuan Shikai's jiahe silver coin on the back". In order to rectify the currency system, the Beiyang government, in February of the third year of the Republic of China (1914), promulgated the "national currency regulations" 13, decided to implement the silver standard system. According to the Regulations of the State Currency, "a unit of six silver COINS of kuping with a price of four cents and eight cents shall be named as the dollar", "a dollar of silver with a total weight of two cents, eight silver and one copper" and "a dollar of silver with an unlimited number of USES", that is, a dollar of silver shall be the standard loan with an unlimited law. According to this regulation, in December 1914 and February 1915, the coinage general factory and the Jiangnan Mint opened a dollar coin, engraved with the head of Yuan Shikai, commonly known as "Yuan Tou coin" or "Yuan Tou head".

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai became the great President in April 1912. In view of the complexity of coinage and paper currency at that time, there were more than 100 kinds of Chinese and foreign currency in circulation, with different specifications, chaotic circulation and complicated conversion. The people were resentful and wanted to solve the military expenditure problem by means of currency reform, so the Beiyang government decided to coin and issue national currency. Yuan Shikai, in order to enhance his dominance, had his head cast in the currency, hence the name "Yuan Tou".
