A CARVED JADEITE SNUFF BOTTLE, QING DYNASTY
清代翡翠巧雕鼻烟壺
Sold for €2,528
including Buyer's Premium
China, 1780-1860. Well hollowed, finely carved in relief to one side with a butterfly and dragonfly above a lotus pond with leaves and a large craggy rock and to the other with a bird in flight next to a bamboo branch, the opaque stone with vivid apple-green splashes. Of rounded form with a concave oval base and a short cylindrical neck.
Provenance: From the private collection of Mrs. Ng in Houston, Texas, USA.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear, microscopic nibbling to mouth, the stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks over time.
Stopper: Glass in imitation of coral with incised gilt metal fitting
Weight: 83.4 g
Dimensions: Height including stopper 67 mm. Diameter neck 19 mm and mouth 7 mm
The Qianlong emperor is known to have admired the brilliance of the apple-green color. This bottle has a detailed and skillfully carved surface, and the creamy-white inclusions of the stone lend an aura of misty atmosphere to the naturalistically rendered pond scenes. An example in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Snuff Bottles in the Collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1991, figure 228, page 190, shares the present bottle's bright green color and characteristic mist-like effect of the white inclusions.
Auction result comparison: Compare with a related snuff bottle at Sotheby’s New York in The Joe Grimberg Collection of Chinese Snuff Bottles on 14 September 2010, lot 163, sold for USD 50,000.
