罕見黑漆地錯銀鑲螺鈿匜
Sold for €26,000
including Buyer's Premium
China, 17th – 18th century. The black dry lacquer ground is intricately inlaid with several thousand microscopic pieces of gold foil and mother-of-pearl, to the interior with a central double vajra with ruyi heads issuing a scrolling border enclosing the design, encircled by bands of floral diaper and key fret, the interior sides with further diapered floral patterns and cloud designs below key-fret bands and at the rim continuing to the spout, the exterior similarly decorated with bands of ruyi heads, key fret, rounded lappets, and floral diaper.
Provenance: From a Hungarian private collection.
Condition: The rim, spout, and inlays with losses. The lacquer with minute age cracks, further with minuscule nicks and minor chips, some old wear, the silver base with a dark patina in some areas. Overall displaying remarkably well and in good condition commensurate with age and the fragile nature of this lot.
Weight: 75.8 g
Dimensions: Length 9.2 cm
The deep rounded sides supported on an oval foot with a recessed and rounded base and rising to a straight rim, one side set with slightly tapered spout of square U-shaped section, the foot and base made of solid silver.

Description: A very rare mother-of-pearl inlaid black-lacquered double gourd, Qing dynasty, 18th century
Expert remark: Compare the intricate gold foil and mother-of-pearl inlays with similar ruyi designs and floral diaper. Note that this vessel has a Qianli mark to base. Also note that arguably the inlay work is not as fine as on the present lot, and that despite this vessel being 31 cm large, the total number of microscopic inlay pieces used for this example is probably smaller than on the present lot.
罕見黑漆地錯銀鑲螺鈿匜
中國，十七至十八世紀。黑漆地面鑲嵌著數以千記的金箔和螺鈿，器內中央紋飾如雙金剛杵，如意形邊框，花卉紋，側壁上錦地花卉級和紋理；外壁有同樣裝飾。工藝繁複精湛，在光線的照射之下五彩繽紛，閃爍變幻絢麗異常。
來源：匈牙利私人收藏。
品相：邊緣、壺嘴和鑲嵌物有缺損。漆面有細微的老化裂紋，還有微小的刻痕和細小的缺口，有些陳舊，銀底在某些區域帶有深色銅綠。整體狀況良好。
重量：75.8 克
尺寸：長 9.2 厘米
匜器深腹，橢圓形足，底部内凹，一側設置有U 形截面口，足部和底座由純銀製成。

描述：十八世紀罕見黑漆地鑲螺鈿葫蘆瓶
