乾隆年间圆形玉印售出250万美元

A round jade seal of Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) has sold for $25.3 million at an auction in Beijing, Dec 6, 2011.

清朝乾隆皇帝（1644-1911）的圆形玉印于2011年12月6日在北京拍卖会上以2530万美元售出。

The auction starting price was $10.69 million and ended the highest auction record for white jade articles.

拍卖会起价106.9万美元，并最终以白色玉器的历史最高价卖出。

The seal was made in 1795 when Qianlong (1711-1799), the 6th emperor of the Qing Dynasty was titled "Retied Emperor" after resigning from the throne but still in power. It is the only round seal among more than 20 made in that year.

此玉印于1795年制作，当时清朝第六代皇帝乾隆退位被封为“太上皇”，但仍掌握实权。这个玉印是那一年制作的20个玉印中唯一的一个圆形玉印。
